WELCOME

Welcome to this slow cooker/crockpot blog. I believe slow cookers are the best thing to happen to modern day cooks. I used mine often when I worked outside the home and continue to do so even in retirement. It is so nice to put food on and forget about it. Slow cookers also allow us to cook many things we would normally have to use the oven for; what a relief in hot Texas weather! Some of these recipes are mine, many are ones I have collected over the years.

SAUSAGE AND COLLARD GREENS STEW

1 lb mild sausage links, casings removed
1 cup chopped leek
4 cups unsalted chicken stock
8-oz chopped fresh collard greens
1 tbsp chopped garlic
1 tsp kosher salt
3/4 tsp black pepper
3  cups cooked ditalini (small) pasta
1/4 cup heavy cream

Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring to break apart with a wooden spoon, until just beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the leek and cook until sausage is browned and leek begins to soften, about 5 minutes.

Add sausage, leek, and pan drippings to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add stock, greens, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low until vegetables are softened and sausage is cooked through, about 4 hours. Stir in the cooked pasta and heavy cream just before serving.

Yield: 6 (approximately 1 1/3 cups) servings
