Slow Cooker Sausage and Vegetables Medley Recipe

Day 19.

This is one of our family favorites. It is easy, healthy and tastes great. Lots of good stuff all at the same time. I usually stock up on Aidell's brand smoked chicken sausage when it's on sale and have quite a few different varieties in the freezer at a time.

The kids like the chicken and apple kind, I like the artichoke and garlic, and Adam likes the spicy kind (I can't remember what it's called, and I'm all cozy here while I'm typing and really don't want to go look). Sorry.

Anyway, they are clearly labeled gluten free, which is always an added bonus.

The Ingredients:

6 smoked chicken sausage links

4 cups random vegetables (carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, bell pepper all work well)
2 cups or so of cubed potatoes
2 cups chicken broth
1/3 to 1/2 cup white wine if you have it on hand --- if not, feel free to omit completely
1 large handful of baby spinach (to add at the very end)

The Directions:

--cut all veggies into 2-inch chunks

--layer into crockpot, most to least dense

--add sliced sausage

--add broth and wine

--cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4.

--right before serving, add a handful of fresh spinach and cover for 10 minutes to wilt leaves

(I forgot to do this in the above photo.)

The Verdict:

Delicious. And terribly easy--no spices are needed due to the flavorful sausage.
We make this pretty often because we all like it. The leftovers are great for lunches and I often eat it cold right out of the Tupperware the next day.
