Cowboy Stew

All in the pot at once and you don't brown the ground beef. It's my new favorite one-pot-save-your-sanity-at-5:00 meal!

Layer:

• 5-6 slices of uncooked bacon at the bottom of the stew pot
• Golfball sized chunks of raw hamburger
• salt and pepper to taste
• potatoes (halved)
• carrots
• onion slices
• cabbage slices

Heat on high 1-2 minutes, then add 3/4 cup of water or beef broth.

Cover, turn to medium/low and simmer for about an hour (or until veggies are tender).
