1 tsp dried parsley
3 C chicken broth
1 lb lean ground beef

Put potatoes, onions, carrots, celery, dried basil and parsley into your 6-quart insert crock pot. Then pour the chicken broth over vegetables. Cover with lid. Cook on low heat for six to eight hours OR on high heat four to five hours or until potatoes are tender.
About 45 minutes before serving, cook and crumble ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any grease. Pour cooked ground beef into crock pot.

Pour mixture into the crock pot and stir to combine everything.
Combine the cubed Velveeta cheese or shredded cheese to the crock pot. Stir again. Cover with lid and cook on high for another thirty minutes or until cheese is melted.
