Brown ground beef in the pot in 1 1/2-pound batches, transferring to the bowl of vegetables. Add tomato puree, tomato sauce, and chicken stock to the pot and stir to loosen the good stuff stuck to the bottom.
Return everything to the pot and simmer, uncovered, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool to room temperature, then package in 2- or 3-cup freezer containers. Date, label, and freeze.
