1
lb

3
medium

medium

1
medium
onion

14
oz

2
cups

can sub chicken broth
1
tsp

0.5
tsp

1
tsp
onion powder
1
tsp
garlic powder
1
tsp
dried thyme
Instructions
Add the ground beef, potatoes, carrots, onion, to your crock pot.
Mix together the tomatoes, broth, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and thyme.
Pour the mix over everything in the crock pot and mix well.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or 4 hours on high.
Devour.
Notes
Make ahead
Make this overnight, and pack into the fridge in the morning - helpful when you'll be gone more than 7 hours from home!
Additions
Add frozen peas or green beans to the last half hour of cooking!
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce will add to the savory flavor.
1 Tbs tomato paste will boost the tomato flavor.
Substitutions
Use chicken stock if you don't have beef broth.
Tomato soup will work in a pinch to replace the canned diced tomatoes.
Use a blend of turkey and beef to make it a bit healthier
