It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Browned beef along with cans of beans, minestrone, veggies, and tomatoes is about as simple as it gets for those days when cooking is a chore.
1 pound ground beef
2 cans (15 ounce size) ranch style beans, undrained
2 cans (10 ounce size) minestrone soup
2 cans (15 ounce size) mixed vegetables, undrained
1 can (10 ounce size) tomatoes with diced green chiles, undrained
Brown the ground beef in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the beans, minestrone soup, mixed vegetables, and tomatoes to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 30 minutes.

What are ranch beans? Pork and beans?
They are pinto beans in a sauce. Not as sweet as pork and beans.

Since I cannot eat anything with peppers or chile, I just use plain diced tomatoes.
