Step 1

Ideal slow cooker size: 5- to 6-quart.

Step 2

Put the ground beef and onions in a large non-stick skillet set over medium heat. Season with salt, pepper and additional seasoning if you like.

Step 3

Cook, stirring and breaking up the beef into small crumbles, until it is no longer pink and the onions have softened, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 4

Drain off any excess fat. (There shouldn’t be much if you used extra lean ground beef.)

Step 5

Scrape the ground beef mixture into the crock pot. Add the potatoes, mixed vegetables, corn, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth and water.

Step 6

Cover and cook on LOW 6 to 8 hours, or until the vegetables are all tender.

Step 7

Taste and add additional salt and pepper, if desired.
