My blog seems to have taken on a new theme..

Since my past few posts have all been about cooking and recipes, I think I'm going to stick with that for now!  Seems to be working out well.  This recipe is a really easy one, thanks to my lovely crock pot!  This is one of my favorite things to make in the winter.

First, here's everything you'll need:
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 6 medium sized potatos
  • 1 medium sized onion
  • 1 can of cream of mushroom soup
  • vegetables of your choice!
  • about 1/2 tsp thyme, and pepper
Before adding everything to the crock pot, the ground beef needs to be browned and then drained.  As this is cooking, mix in the thyme and pepper for seasoning.  While the ground beef is browning, peel the potatos, and cut the potatos, onion, and vegetables into small enough pieces to eat.  Before throwing everything into the crock pot, it's important to grease the pot so the food doesn't stick!  Next, place half of the potatos/veggies/onion in the pot, then the ground beef, then remaining potatos/veggies/onions.  Finally, pour the can of soup over the top, pop on the lid, and cook on low for 8 hours!  This ends up pretty similar to a shepherd's pie, just in crock pot form!  Also, plenty of leftovers, always a plus!  Enjoy :)
