Slow Cooker Hash . . .

Besides thinking about baking for the holidays, I always look out for recipes I can put together and then forget. The dinner cooks along on it's own and leaves me to more creative endeavors . . . like gingerbread houses and sugar plums! This is a very basic but filling recipe. You can always supplement it with a green salad . . . and fresh cookies for dessert.

Slow Cooker Hash
4-6 Russet potatoes, thinly sliced
1 large onion (I like red ones) thinly sliced
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Dash of chili flakes
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup red wine (You can substitute water)
1 teaspoon or bullion cube beef concentrate
1 pound ground beef, browned
1/2 pound ground pork, browned
1 can of cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

Alternately layer the potatoes and vegetables in the crock pot. Season with some of the seasonings as you go along. When the vegetables are all in place, pour in the wine or water, bullion, and top with the ground beef/pork, pour the soup over it all and cook on slow or high depending on when you need it.

Should server 4-6.
