Crock-Pot Ground Beef Stew

This Crock-Pot Ground Beef Stew is yummy and simple and makes for a perfect dinner! I really like how super easy this goes together.

 

It’s really a sort of comfort food without being high in fat.

What a great twist on a can of tomato soup! Don’t be concerned about this soup being to tomato-y. It’s a subtle taste and it blends well with the onion soup mix.

A quick and easy crock-pot meal.
