    Sweet Potato Burritos!

    4 sweet potatoes
    1 package of frozen corn
    2 cans of black beans, thoroughly rinsed
    2 jars of salsa
    4 oz of soft cream cheese

    Put on slow cooker on high for 6 hours. Delish, vegetarian, and kids love it! Any other vegetarian ideas?

    I'm going to be making beef in ale in my slow cooker tomorrow. I don't have an exact recipe but its -
    one pack of casserole beef (500g)
    2-3 carrots
    2 leeks (or 5-6 baby leeks)
    one bottle or can of ale (using directors tomorrow as its what I have)
    Beef stock
    1-2 teaspoons of whole grain mustard
    1-2 teaspoons of tomato purée
    Dried parsley

    I just brown the beef then chuck it in the slow cooker with everything else for about 8 hours. It's yummy on its own or with mash or roast potatoes but best with dumplings.

    TraciW1212: I'm pretty sure you CAN add veggies to it, but I didn't because I made them on the side. However, this was my first time making this recipe so adding vegetables would definitely be experimental.

    I made this in my crock pot last night - not only does it taste pretty good, but my apartment smelled AMAZING when I woke up today!


    2 1/2 cups peeled and cubed macintosh apple
    3 cups peeled and cubed sweet potato
    1 1/2 cups cleaned and cubed butternut squash
    1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

    2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
    1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    1 tablespoon honey

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread apple, sweet potato, and squash on a greased cookie sheet, then sprinkle with the pumpkin pie spice. Roast for 10-15 minutes.

    Transfer the roasted veggies to a crock pot and top with 2 cups of vegetable broth, a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and a tablespoon of honey. Cook on low for 6 hours. Mash vegetables for last half hour of cooking, or use a blender after the soup has cooled to give it a smooth, creamy texture.

    4 servings, 165 calories each.

    Pumpkin Chicken White Bean Chili~ It is the season and this is really good!
    Only 180 calories and 3g of fat per cup :)

    Brown 1lb 99% lean ground turkey
    1/2 tsp olive oil
    1 small onion, chopped
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    1 tsp chili powder, to taste
    2 bay leaves
    2 tsp cumin
    1 tsp oregano
    1 or 2 (15 oz cans) of white northern or navy beans, rinsed and drained
    15 oz can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
    4.5 oz canned chopped green chile
    2 cups low sodium, fat free chicken broth
    fat free sour cream for topping (optional)
    chopped cilantro and chives for topping (optional)
    salt and pepper to taste

    Brown the ground chicken in a pan. Add beans, broth, pumpkin filing, green chiles, and seasonings except the cumin into your slow cooker. Saute the onion and garlic with the cumin and olive oil for 3-4 minutes. Add the ground chicken and sauteed onion and garlic to the slow cooker once its ready. Slow cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, remove bay leaves before serving.

    I added chili powder, garlic powder, pepper, and onion powder to the ground chicken while browning it because I like lots of flavor.

    These were posted in the first thread, and I made them last night for dinner- family loved them - well the kids don't eat chili, but both boys LOVED the corn bread!!! and everyone else loved the chili!
