Cowboy Casserole

From Back on the Ranch In any order that makes you smile toss the following into the crockpot, just be sure and end up with the tomatoes last.

1 onion, diced
6-8 potatoes, diced
2 lbs ground beef or sausage, browned
3 cans kidney beans, drained
1 teaspoon oregano
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 can diced tomatoes, don’t drain these
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
I always like to start my crockpot out on high for the first hour, then turn it down to low if I want. This one takes about 4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. Just to get the potatoes tender and blend all the wonderful flavors!
