I developed this recipe myself when I was 16. It freezes well and almost tastes better the day after you make it. The variety of vegetables make it colorful to serve and give it the calico name.—Camille Gouldsborough, Grosse Isle, Manitoba.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained

1 cup water
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon each dried oregano, thyme and rosemary, crushed
