Budget meals are my best friend right now and this one is easy, cheap, and makes a TON!  Seriously, I froze 3 more meals from this.   This would be great for lunch throughout the week.

Veggie Beef Soup

• Ground Beef
• Onion, chopped
• Large can of beans, rinsed and drained (your choice or omit)
• Family size bag of frozen mixed veggies
• Can of chili sauce (Hunts brand, by your canned tomatoes)
• 28 oz Can of diced tomatoes
• 8 cups beef broth (I used McCormick Beef Base)
• 2 cups cooked rice (or omit)

Ingredients

1. Brown ground beef with the chopped onion.
2. Dump meat and remaining ingredients in crock pot.  Cook on high or low (depending on when you want to serve it) until warmed through.
3. Easy peasy! Enjoy!
