One of the few recipes I actually make is my Beef Vegetable Soup in the crockpot.
Whatever kind of beef you prefer (we usually buy the soup meat because we're lazy) a pound to a pound & a half.
Two bags of frozen veggies - I usually use some kind of carrot, corn, pea mix, but you can use whatever your family likes best.
Two cups of frozen "hash brown" potatoes - the diced kind, not the stringy kind.
32 oz of some kind of beef broth.
Whatever spices you prefer.
I generally layer the crock pot - beef, potatoes, veggies and then pour the broth over it. I'll add a cup or two of water to cover everything (and possibly toss in a beef bouillion cube). Then I add my spices (basil, thyme, fresh ground pepper, minced garlic, minced onion -- whatever strikes my fancy) and set the crock pot for 8 or 10 hours.
