3lg sweet potatoes,cut into med.chunks
3-4 turnips,1/4’d
3-4 carrots,cut in big chunks
1 small cabbage,cut into smallish wedges
1 acorn, butternut or other winter squash
Chop all these goodies up (peeling them first as necessary/desired) and throw them in the crockpot.
2 lbs. beef or lamb, or 3 lbs. chicken pieces,OR 3lbs WHOLE mushrooms, OR 4cans,DRAINED+RINSED GARBONZOES.
Cut up and stuff into the center of the veggies (your pot will be looking pretty full by now). You can substitute chickpeas or black-eyed peas for the meat, if you want a vegetarian version; but either pre-cook them or use canned (if you don't mind the texture of canned beans), since dried beans won't cook in the crock-pot. You can also add chickpeas just for fun, in addition to the meat.
