Hamburger Supper

1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup hot water
3 small potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (15 ounces) peas and carrots, drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Shape beef into four patties. In a skillet, cook patties over medium heat until no longer pink. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add water to skillet and stir to loosen browned bits from pan. Pour into slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients.

Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until potatoes are tender. Makes 4 servings. If you prefer, use 1-1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables for the canned peas and carrots in the Hamburger Supper recipe.
