INGREDIENTS

I don't give many quantities for ingredients because this is a very casual, loose recipe and amounts don't really matter. Just add some stuff, be lazy, don't measure. Make it all fit in the pot.

Coarsely chop an onion and add it to large crockpot

You can make many versions of this dish by varying the ingredients. One version I like uses organic red sweet potato, black beans, half a jar of salsa verde and cumin. Turns out like a ranchero style.

I also like a version with chickpeas, curry and sweet potato. Have fun adding or subtracting veggies, beans and spices to play and experiment. Adding 1/2 to 1 tsp salt is always optional.

You could use, chopped squash, and add ground sage for a holiday stuffing style taste. Frozen peas also make a good veggie addition. General rule for spices: 1 tsp each

Stir up the pot, then add up to a half cup of water. I usually just add a splash.

Cover slow cooker and set on low for 8 hours. Walk away.

Most versions of this shredded meal make good fillings for potatoes, tortillas, or lettuce wraps. It's a good clean meal you can reheat and eat different ways throughout the week. Be healthy xo
