There’s nothing like coming home from a long day of pleasing other people and having a nice big pot of stew ready to be served up for your tasting pleasure. This is not just any stew. No, sir. This is a slow cooker sausage and sweet potato stew that is sure to make your taste buds jump for joy!
Can you see all the yumminess going on in here? This pot is full of sausage, sweet potatoes, onions and garbanzo beans (chickpeas) that have been slowly simmering in beef broth all day long.
It takes less than 15 minutes to get this going before you head out the house in the morning, or night, depending on your schedule:) But no matter what time you eat dinner this stew is sure to please.
Uhm, hello? Is anything else needed? Well, other than someone to share it with…
Ingredients
