Join the discussionWow! Thanks for a great winter recipe. For those that don’t have a slow cooker or are pressed for time, I’ve found this works very well on the stovetop (simmering on medium-low heat for an hour, with a quick stir every 5 min or so).
Thanks for sharing Rachel!
I used butternut squash instead of sweet potato (had some in the freezer). Also, topped with avocado and Everything Bagel Seasoning and it was awesome!
This recipe was a delightful fall surprise. Even my picky husband went back for seconds.
That’s wonderful to hear! It’s a nice treat on a cool evening – and especially nice when everyone enjoys it!!
