It is school time Ladies and Gentleman and I am hitting the ground running. I am trying new recipes to add to our rotation of easy recipes. This Crock Pot 4 Layer Hamburger Potato Casserole will be perfect for after school days and cold winter nights.
This is a big year for me, as for the first time in 16 years all of our children will be in school. Our 1st grader is entering the school system and I am without a grocery shopping partner.
Besides all the tears I have been shedding for my 1st, 4th, 7th and JUNIOR, I am realizing I can put more time into Baking With Mom and for that I am excited. Good thing I have that or I would be a puddle on the floor.
Sniff.
With the start of school, we have basketball, cross country and marching band right off the bat. I have papers to sign, projects to help with and daily school drop offs and pick ups. (Yup, my children do not ride the bus. No apologies.)
I need crock pot meals to feed my family. Easy quick meals that compliment my freezer meal prep is even better. If I have hamburger already cooked in the freezer, all I need to do is chop the vegetables and I am good to go.
Then when the kids get home from school and we take them to their sports activity, we have a warm, nutritious meal waiting at the end of the craziness. Yum for that.

Can you suggest a substitute for the quart of tomato juice. We’re a bit sensitive to the acid levels.

Well, maybe substitute beef broth in place of the tomato juice. Or half water/half beef broth. It would be more stew like, but I think it would be delicious.
