Dice the potatoes and toss them into some cold water in a pot, salt and bring to a boil and cook the potatoes until they’re soft to poke.

On high-heat, slowly add the ground meat to a pot with the minced garlic and onions. Keep stirring the meat to help evaporate the juices ~10 minutes. Once the meat has browned turn the heat to low, stir in the tomato paste, Thyme, Rosemary, S&P and the flour to thicken the sauce. Let the meat sauce simmer adding a little water/chicken stock if it starts to get too dry, the longer the simmering the better! For the final few minutes toss in the corn, carrots and sliced mushrooms.
