Â* My wife has a similar recipe for the slow cooker . She layers cubed
potatoes , browned ground beef , carrots and green beans then pours a
couple of cans of mushroom soup over the whole mess . I'm not sure what
if any seasonings she puts in/on it but it is mighty tasty . Cooks it I
think 4 hours on high .
