Vegetable Beef Stew

CROCK POT VEGETABLE BEEF STEW
(This makes a full crock pot - it's HUGE)
Ingredients:
2 pound ground beef
1 onion, diced
6 red potatoes, finely diced
5 carrots, thinly sliced
1/2 - 1 cup beef stock
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 can green beans
1 can ranch style beans
1 (46 fluid ounce) bottle spicy V8
1/4 - 1/2 cup ketchup
salt, pepper and cumin

Directions:
1. In a pan saute onion and then cook ground beef until beef is no longer pink.
2. Meanwhile, put V8, carrots and canned vegetables and beans and everything else (except the spices) in the crock pot.
3. Drain beef mixture and put in crock pot with everything else (except the spices).
4. Turn crock on high for a couple of hours then turn to low and let it cook all night.
5. I didn't add any of my spices until the next morning -- I once read that the crock pot cooks out all the spices and that's why a lot of people don't like things cooked in the crock pot -- so I season at the very end.



This makes a VERY HEARTY meal -- we ate on it all day while working around here.
