This was one recipe that I was surprised that I liked as much as I did (granted I had to tweak it a little). This is another recipe that is good for if you do not have a lot of time, you just basically put the ingredients in the slow cooker and walk away and it doesn’t even require a lot of stirring. I added a protein just because it seems weird to eat a meal without it, but vegetarians rejoice because at its most basic it is vegetarian friendly. You can really add any kind of protein to this recipe just make sure that it is cooked properly. I add smoked sausage just because it doesn’t take a lot to cook plus its generally cheaper than chicken. Enjoy!
