I’ve been wanting to make more meals that are rich in vegetables. Not only are they better for us, but they’re easier for me to stay on my eating plan when I have meals like this. The only problem is that I have 2 children who don’t like this wide of an assortment of vegetables. They survive though, and the rest of us are happy. We love to add some spice to this recipe, but we just do it to our own bowls, so we don’t heat it up for the younger kids. Tobasco sauce and pepper are great in this soup!!

YUM! As I"m gearing up for our new school schedule and thinking ahead to my fall menu, I've been thinking about all your delicious slow cooker recipes. Thank you for being so helpful, my friend 🙂

I’m guessing you pre-cook your hamburger to be able to drain the grease?
I think if you were to use some stew beef in place of the hamburger, you could throw everything in the pot and not have to pre-cook anything.
If you were going to pre-cook your meat, you could always crockpot the veggies, use an immersion blender on the cooked veggies, throw the meat in to warm thru and serve. All the picky kids won’t complain about all the “veggies they don’t like” cuz they can’t seem em lol! 😉

Yes, plus I don't like the look of crockpot cooked hamburger. It usually still looks pink. Stew meat would definitely work, but….. it would raise the price, too. Great idea about the immersion blender. 🙂
