Soup. Warm, comforting, nutritious soup. The sort of thing you eat when you’re sick, cold, or on one of your diets again.
I know those diets: “No pasta for me! Just soup tonight. No, I love soup. I really do.”
This isn’t soup, Vicki. This is obesity in a crock pot.
Where did the recipe deviate from soup? Somewhere between the 1 pound of ground beef and the 2 POUNDS OF VELVEETA. That’s 2,588 calories worth of Velveeta, in case you were wondering. 97 grams of fat. YUMMY!
Am I being too harsh? The 2 pounds of shredded hash browns provide some Vitamin C. Oh, and I’m sure the 30 ounces of chicken broth do something towards a soup-like consistency.
At least Vicki had the sense to file this gem under “crafts”, rather than “recipes.” If Sandra Lee and Paula Deen got together, this is exactly the sort of “food” that they would whip up.

Don’t be silly, Paula would never create a recipe without any butter
