Mountain Man Stew

Here is the recipes for the mountain man stew we had at school today. The kids loved it, and I promised to post the recipe only if they didn't decide they didn't like it when they found out what was in it. Of course, Mountain Men did not peel their potatoes or carrots. I cut the potatoes and carrots into various size pieces to make it look more rustic.

1 pound lean hamburger, browned well
1 pkg. precooked pork link sausage, cut into small pieces, then browned well
5-5 large carrots, not peeled, cut into pieces
6-8 large potatoes, not peeled, cut into pieces
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg. Lipton onion soup mix (dry powder)
1 can Consomme (beef broth will work)

Put all ingredients in medium-sized Crockpot. Cook 3-4 hours on high.

Our class completely devoured two Crockpots full of this. My apologies if none of the kids ate any lunch today.
