I have dinner cooking in the crock pot. It's another recipe from Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker - Bell Peppers Stuffed with Salsa Rice and Beans. I got medium salsa, but it's pretty hot, so these should be good and spicy

My girlfiend found a recipe for this Pork & Cider stew, which we've made twice and it's FANTASTIC. It just sits in the crock pot for about 10 hrs and turns into a pot of gloriousness. :-) I'll find the recipe and share!

Awesome! I'd love to try it!

Found it! Cider, Pork, and Vegetable Stew

This comes from the Betty Crocker Ltd Edition (Breast Cancer edition) New Cook Book, pg A-42. We've had it twice now and it's just super-delish. Both times, we've gone the low-heat route - and also, like most soups/stews, it just kept getting better with time... so after 2-3 days in the fridge, it was even better than when we first dipped it! Totally awesome with a "Sack"-style wine, a good Porter, or I'd imagine a stout, if you're looking to imbibe along with the meal. Enjoy!

Cider, Pork, and Vegetable Stew

Slightly sweet, hearty root vegetables - carrots and potatoes - complement tender chunks of pork in this stew. Lean pork provides nutrients for energy production.

Prep: 20 minutes Cook: 10 to 12 hours (low) or 5 to 6 hours (high) Makes: 8 servings
