For a really hearty dish, brown about 3/4 to 1 lb. of ground beef or chuck in separate skillet, drain excess fat, and add to the Crock-Pot before simmering. Serve as suggested over buns or toast, add a salad, and you've got a quick delicious meal. -

How about adding SOY beans to it?? There's not much meat, or someone might not want bacon or/and other meats in it; you never know. I'd rather have the soy foods in it myself. -
