Notes

Nutritional information is an estimate. It will vary based the brands of ingredients used and on your cooking methods.

No liquids get added. The rice absorbs the liquid from the ground beef, the condensation from in the slow cooker as well as the undiluted tomato soup.

Cutting the carrots and the potatoes helps the food cook longer for all day cooking in the slow cooker. Cutting these smaller can shorten the cooking time.
