Oh, yeah. That food thing.

This is what we had tonight, except for one change which I'll tell you at the end.

Hearty Alphabet Soup
2 pounds stew beef
14 1/2 oz. can stewed tomatoes
8 oz. tomato sauce
2 cups water
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
16 oz. frozen soup vegetables
1 cup uncooked alphabet noodles

Put it all, except the noodles, together in the crock pot on low for about 8 hours. Add noodles, turn to 'high' for another half an hour.

If by chance your beloved husband gets home before you and adds the whole box of noodles, it's still good. Just heartier than you planned.
