To a slow cooker chicken, I added an old family noodle recipe. If you want it to be more like a soup, add another quart of broth. This was a fixture at family reunions when I was a child, and the slow cooker makes it even easier.
Not your ordinary chili recipe, this slow cooker version combines turkey with butternut squash, corn, cranberries, and jalapeno pepper for a unique taste sensation.
As you eat this unique recipe the juicy, roasted tomatoes break apart into the pasta to make the sauce right on your plate. People at the table might not even notice the extra serving of vegetables you "hid" by grating squash into the pasta, but the flavor will make it a winner.
Pot roast delivers great flavor for an affordable price at about $2.40 per serving. Alter this recipe's cooking time to suit your needs, using the high-heat setting on your slow cooker to speed things up, if you like. Feel free to stir in other root vegetables like butternut squash or parsnips to make this one-dish dinner even tastier. Serve with hunks of crusty bread on the side.
