Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
Could the diced tomatoes be omitted?
Yes, you could leave them out if you don’t like them. You may want to add in 1/2 cup of liquid to replace the liquid from the tomatoes.
Delicious! Followed the recipe, but i bet it would also add some more pizzazz if i added a bay leaf. My husband gobbled it up and didn’t even pick out any veggies;) We ate it with a side of rolls and were very satisfied!
So glad to hear this! And it’s a win when they don’t pick out any veggies!!
Can this be made in the slow cooker?
If I use ground turkey in place of ground beef, would I still use beef broth or switch it to chicken broth? Or is that then considered an entirely different recipe? We’re not big fans of ground beef, but this looks so delicious.
Very good! I made it in a crockpot and let it cook all day!
You could totally change it to Ground turkey and it would work fine. You could use beef broth or chicken broth.
You could totally make this in the slow cooker.
What could be used in place of the dry soup mix? All the ones I find have bad ingredients and are considered “dip mixes” instead of soup mixes.
We would recommend making your own “dry soup mix” – they’re actually pretty easy to throw together! All Recipes has a pretty simple one you could use that we’ve made on occasion with good results.
Salt and pepper is too bland for us, so added ground dried thyme, a bay leaf, garlic powder, and ground cumin along with the salt and pepper. Made ALL the difference, its a hit.
