[recipe*] Italian Stew

[Guest guest]

This recipe is so easy, and it also cooks well in a

crockpot if you will be away during the day at work,

school, or play. To prepare in the crockpot, just saute

potatoes, onion, sweet pepper and garlic in oil just until the

onions are soft. Then add the rest to the slow cooker and

allow to simmer on the low setting for at least 4 hours,

but more is fine; I have had good results with this even when

I let it cook for 7 hours due to being out... but add a cup to

3/4 cup of water to avoid it drying out ot scorching [some

crockpots, especially newer models, cook way too hot even

on the low setting].
