Crock Pot Vegetable Beef Soup



1 pound ground beef (venison or turkey would also work)

1 ½ cups cooked beans of your choice 1 can beans, rinsed and drained

28 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained

12 ounces frozen mixed vegetables

3 cups beef broth

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon dried onion

1 teaspoon oregano

½ teaspoon thyme

½ teaspoon pepper

Brown ground meat in skillet. Drain. Add to 4 quart crock pot with remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

(I used ground beef, and canned chili flavored beans and this was very tasty. Everyone loved it!)

Also I use homemade beef broth, I always save the broth from left over a cooked roast that I have cooked in another crockpot recipe and just use this broth in place of store bought broth. Saves money!
