1.	If the beef crumbles and onions are frozen, thaw them in the refrigerator. Drain the onions thoroughly on the day of assembly. CCP: Hold under refrigeration (41 degrees F. or lower) until ready for assembly.

4.	For 100 servings, combine the soup, 1 quart of water, and browning sauce with the beef mixture and bring it to a simmer.
