This slow cooker recipe is for when you have no time to cook! Just toss it together the night before to put in the frig. - Then set the crock in the cooker before you're out the door in the morning! Tip: I often have many of the vegetables already diced and in the freezer. Read more I just shake some from each of the bags("guess-timating" the amounts) and include the items from the cans. Then I'm off running as usual! You can switch out, or omit, any of the items you want. See less

- Note: When I see that we won't be using up the fresh celery, green peppers, or etc. in time, I just dice them and store them in freezer baggies in the freezer for quick use later on. If I only need part of an onion in another recipe, I dice the rest to place in the freezer, also. This makes cooking in a time crunch so much easier!
