Recipe information

  • Yield

    8 bowls

Ingredients

2 lbs lean ground meat (may use beef, or turkey).
2 cans (15oz) Progresso Minestrone soup
2 cans (15oz) Original Ranch Style Beans
2 cans Rotel (mild or spicy to taste)

Preparation

  1. Brown ground meat, drain grease and season to taste (salt, pepper, garlic) Add meat and other ingredients to a stew pot or crock pot. (I put Rotel in the blender before adding it. This provides the flavor, without tomato chunks, more kid friendly).Heat to simmer. Simmer 15 - 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to mingle flavors. May be frozen for use later.
