Ranch Stew by Mindy Schiman

Brown 1.5 lbs hamburger with one diced onion (optional). Drain, put in crockpot. Add 2 cans Ranch style beans, 3 cans minestrone soup and 2 cans of Rotel. Cook on low. Serve with cornbread or tortilla chips (best with tortilla chips).

**Joy isn't much for soup but he liked this one because it is thick and hearty. Makes a BIG batch. In fact, I froze half of it to eat another day. We ate it with tortilla "scoops" and a little dab of sour cream.
