2.                  Remove ground beef from crease set aside.
3.                  Add veggies to skittle crease and cook until slight translucent, about 3- 5 minutes.
4.                  Drain veggie set aside
5.                  In a 5quart ditch oven add ground beef, veggies, and all other ingredients; DO ADD WATER. 
6.                  Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to a simmer (set dial between 2 ½ to 3) for 1-1/ 2 to 2 hours.
