Notes
This recipe can also be made or kept warm in your slow cooker.
You can cook ground beef ahead of time and keep it in the fridge or freezer until you are ready to add it to your recipe.
I love freezing soup in gallon-size freezer bags because it’s so easy to store flat and then thaw and reheat without taking up a lot of space in my freezer.
