Tips and Substitutions
You can also use ground beef for this recipe. Simply brown and season the beef before putting in the Crockpot. The mixture will need 30 minutes to an hour less cook time on both high and low settings.
The pasta soaks up the flavors of the dish as well as helps to thicken the broth. If the pasta you choose isn’t al dente after cooking 25 minutes on high, recover and cook an additional 10-15 minutes.
The vegetables can be omitted or substituted to your vegetable preference.
Storage: After the mixture has cooled, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days.You can freeze leftovers in an airtight, freezer-safe containers up to 3 months. Thaw over night in the refrigerator before reheating.
