Yummy Recipes for Vegetables Made in Your Slow Cooker

Author: Linda Wilson
Crockpots and slow cookers can be your best kitchen friends. Being one who prefers vegetables over meat, I love using my slow cookers and crockpots (yes, that is plural, you can't have too many) for tasty vegetables, too. No need to keep it back just for soups and roasts. Try these delicious recipes and see what I mean! Easy Baked Sweet Potatoes are perfect when your oven is occupied with the meat. This is also a good way to prepare your sweet potatoes so they are ready when you get home. My German heritage come through in my love of cabbage. I think I could eat it everyday and never tire of it. One of my favorite cabbage recipes is Bavarian Red Cabbage which combines the red cabbage with apples. Give it a try, and see just how good it is. The New England Style Baked Beans turns a simple navy bean into a mouth-watering veggie!

EASY BAKED SWEET POTATOES
Scrub approximately 12 (or enough to fill your cooker) sweet potatoes.
Place potatoes in the slow cooker or crockpot. Add 1/4 cup water to pot.
Place lid on cooker and cook on high setting for 1 hour. Turn heat to low setting and cook for another 6 to 8 hours. Potatoes should be very tender.
BAVARIAN RED CABBAGE
1 small head red cabbage, coarsely sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 tart apples, cored and quartered
2 tsp salt
1 cup hot water
1 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
3 tbsp bacon drippings (or butter, if you prefer)
Place the above ingredients into the crockpot or slowcooker in the order listed above. Place the lid on the cooker and cook on low heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or 3 to 4 hours on high. Before serving, stir well.
NEW ENGLAND STYLE BAKED BEANS
1 1/2 lbs dry navy beans, cover with water and soak overnight
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup water
2 tsp dry mustard
2 tbsp molasses
1 tbsp salt
1/4 lb salt pork, diced
Place the beans in the crockpot or slow cooker with 1 cup water. Cook on high for 30 to 45 minutes until softened.
Add the remaining ingredients to the beans in the cooker; mix together well. Place lid on cooker and cook on low setting 10 to 12 hours or on high 4 to 6 hours. Stir occasionally during cooking process.
Enjoy!
