just throw it in the crockpot and let it cook for 8 hours. only thing i did different was used 1lb of ground beef instead of 2 and i browned the ground beef before i put it in the crockpot and instead of tomato juice, i used the 46 oz of diced tomatoes to make it thicker. oh i also added 1/2 red bell pepper and i didn’t use a whole green pepper but 1/2 of that as well. instead of white sugar i used 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. other then that, i used everything from the list.
