Favorite Slowcooker Meal

Our slowcooker gets a lot of work during the winter. I love the ease of it and I especially love that it will fill the house up with yummy smells all day.

What is your favorite slowcooker recipe or meal?

    This is a perfect soup for picky eaters. They can’t see the offending veggies and the flavors in the soup meld together so they can’t single a flavor out.

    Slow Cooker Chickpea Butternut Squash Soup (Gluten-Free )
    (http://healthyslowcooking.wordpress.com/2010/01/17/slow-cooker-chickpea-butternut-squash-soup/)

    Prep time: 15 minutes
    Cooking Time: 6 – 8 hours

    * 2 cups butternut squash, frozen, or raw (peeled and seeded of course)
    * 1-14 oz can chickpeas, rinsed
    * 1-14 oz can organic crushed tomatoes (diced or stewed works fine too)
    * 1 cup bell pepper strips (fresh or frozen works fine)
    * 2 cloves garlic, minced
    * 1 Tb Better than Bouillon chicken-less flavor – or omit and use broth instead of water
    * 5 cups filtered water
    * 1 Tb port wine
    * 1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms
    * 1 tsp. marjoram
    * 1 Tb Italian seasoning blend

    The night before: Peel, seed, and chop the butternut squash. Slice mushrooms, mince garlic and chop green peppers.

    In the morning: Throw everything into your slow cooker and cook for 6 – 8 hours on low. Taste and add more herbs or port wine. Puree with an immersion blender and serve.

    Enjoy!

    I’ve always been a fan of pulled pork sandwiches with the pork being cooked slowly. It’s really quite fun. Now i’m hungry again.
