Notes

Note: To save time, add the other ingredients to the crock pot while the beef browns.

You can skip the browning the beef step and add the raw ground beef to the crock pot. I recommend using lean ground beef if you do this and cook for the maximum cook time.

I recommend a 12 to 14 ounce bag of frozen vegetables.
