Additional recipe notes

Feel free to add more vegetables! Some of our favorites to add: chopped zucchini green peas sweet potatoes corn any color of bell pepper celery broccoli cauliflower How to turn this into a freezer meal: Brown ground beef and let it cool. Once cooled, place in the bottom of gallon-sized resealable freezer bag. Add in potatoes, onion, carrots, green beans, salt, ground black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and parsley. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal bag closed. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last 60-90 days. When ready to use, dump ingredients from bag into slow cooker and place lid on top. Cook on LOW heat for 6-8 hours (or HIGH heat for 3-4 hours – just make sure that the food is cooked through). In a mixing bowl, mix together cream of mushroom soup and BBQ sauce. Add to food in slow cooker and gently mix until all food is coated in sauce. Scoop into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.

Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
