Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Stew Reviews

• Fortunately, I made this with out having all of the proper ingredients and it turned out great. I used sweet potatoes, 4 roma tomatoes, and kidney beans. My family really enjoyed the dish. It went well with the Trader Joes Pumpkin Crackers crushed into it.

• Such a unique and yummy recipe Next time I will try it with sweet potatoes instead of russet just to have some fun, but its great as written too

• This was very hearty I used precooked turkey sausage and put it in at the end just because I didnt want the grease. Will make again

• I omitted most spices except garlic no potaoes just onion med squash italian sausage some chicken broth omg delish

• Tastes great, but DEFINITELY needs more than 2.5 hours cooking time. The vegetables just are not tender after 2.5 hours. Next time, Ill cook it on Low for a full 8 hours.
