Some days you just need a slow cooker meal...! Love soups and was looking for something a little different. If you have an open jar or packet of thai curry paste in your fridge, and you like the flavour of it, this is another way to enjoy it. Most of the items are pantry staples, which is how this came to be, and it's fairly low calorie/low fat. I made it to fit a small crock pot (2.5 Q I think)....yields enough for 2 good sized portions. If you use a larger crock pot you would probably have to double the recipe. Some flat bread on the side makes it a meal.
Cream cheese is the shortcut to making this classic Italian sauce. Bacon gives it added flavor. Just 20 minutes to fix makes it a perfect dish for busy nights.
Here you go, proving how smart you are all over again, with a heartwarming dish that your family will savor, without ever knowing it's better-for-them.
