Introduction
Throw this together in minutes and let it simmer until you're ready to eat it. Seriously, once the beef is browned and the frozen veggies are thawed you can let it cook however long you want. The longer it goes, the better the seasonings permeate, but you can pull it off the stove for a quick dinner if you'd prefer. Great for freezing.
