  • 1/2 lb. ground beef or spicy ground sausage

Instructions

  • Brown ground beef in a skillet with olive oil, diced onions and add garlic last 2 minutes until meat is no longer pink. Dump into slow cooker.
  • Add peeled and cubed potatoes, carrots, and peas. (or could just use 1 cup mixed frozen vegetables). Pour in the broth, add salt and any seasonings you would like, stir.
