Vegetable Beef Stew

This is one of our favorites and it totally starts with a package. It is one of the best tasting soups you can buy, and it is not expensive. It cooks in the crock pot all day and is ready to serve when you get home. I add a couple of things to it, but you can totally eat it alone. You can find the mix on the soup aisle in plastic bags. There is also the chicken noodle and other flavors, but the vegetable beef stew is my favorite.

Ingredients

• Mrs. Grass Vegetable Beef Stew Mix
• 1 lbs of stew beef (or 1 lbs of cooked ground beef or turkey)
• 2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables (or canned)
• 9 cups of water (one more than suggested b/c of the added ingredients)

Mix all ingredients in the slow cooker. Cook on low all day (8 to 10 hours) or high for 3-4 hours. Serve with bread or crackers. (You can also cook on the stove, but it does not have near the taste as the slow cooked method.)
