Notes

To freeze: allow to cool completely then transfer to a container or ziplock bag for up to 6 months. If using the bag, freeze laying down then stand it upright in the freezer to save space. Thaw overnight and reheat on the stove over medium until warmed all the way through.
Stove top: follow the instructions to cook the veggies and brown the meat, then add all of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, covered for 30 minutes.
