This is the recipe we make in the middle of the week when it's too hard to think about being creative. I actually brown the meat at night and cut up all the veggies and put them in the refrigerator - the meat in a covered bowl, and the veggies in a ziplock bag. Then, in the morning I just throw everything together in the crock pot and turn it on to cook.
