Quick And Easy Beef and Potato Soup

Here's a quick and easy Beef and Potato Soup recipe that uses simple ingredients.
It's very tasty and can be spiced up any way you want.
Ingredients:
1 pound of lean ground beef or chuck
4 cups of cubed potatoes, peeled if preferred. (1/2" cubes)
1 Small onion, chopped
3 cans (8 ounce) tomato sauce
4 cups water
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. garlic salt
1-1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 to 1 tsp. hot pepper sauce
Directions:
In a Dutch Oven or large cooking pot, brown the ground beef/chuck. Drain
Add potatoes, onion, and tomato sauce.
Stir in water, salts, pepper and hot sauce.
Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until potatoes are tender and soup is thickened.
You can also fix this in a crock pot by browning the meat separately, add the ingredients, and
cooking on high for several hours. It's great either way.
