It was in the morning, but not 4am
I do have trouble sleeping and am usually up between 4-5 am, „getting up with the chickens“ ( right now they get up at 6am, but in the summer, it can be 3 am
)

Thanks for the recipe!I googled it and found some tasty and easy looking recipes, then modified one (original one under the spoiler) for gardeners, while also avoiding the dry bean types.
Easy to make, easy on the system, and easy to modify. Use as much, or as little veggies as you like.
Snappy's Easy Taco Stew
1 lb ground meat (beef or turkey)
1/2 an onion
2 or 3 cloves of garlic
1 qt canned diced tomatoes (or whatever style you like)
1 qt tomato sauce
1 qt frozen mixed garden veggies **
3 or 4 cups corn
Water
1 pouch taco seasonings (Old El Paso is GF, lactic acid free, and no caramel coloring)
Brown ground meat with onions and garlic
Add mixture to a slow cooker
Add all other ingredients, using water to swish out the jars
(Less water equals stew, more water equals a hearty soup)
Cook on low about 6 hours
Serve with toppings of choice
** Towards the end of gardening season, when I am only getting a handful of veggies like zucchini, green beans, tomatoes, etc... and it's not enough of one thing for any specific recipe (and I'm sick of them anyway) ...every few days I chop/dice whatever "they" are into a quart freezer bag together and freeze. I call them meal bags, and about mid-winter they are wonderful to add to any soup, stew, casserole, or whatever.
Just be sure if you freeze tomatoes whole, remove the stem core top first.
