Ingredients:

• 1¾ lbs. ground beef

Instructions:

  Prep Time: 10 min. • Cook Time: 4-8 hrs.

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until browned*, breaking up beef with side of spoon; drain drippings. Transfer meat to 4 to 5-quart slow cooker; stir in remaining ingredients.

Slow cook on high 4-5 hours (or low 7-8 hours). Serve topped with optional garnishes.
