This giveaway has ended. Congrats to our winner, Emily S.
I am an absolute fan of my slow cooker. I love love love how simple it makes my life, how many good and hearty recipes it feeds my family, and how it brings warmth to my home. So many of my slow cooker recipes call for tomatoes. That’s awesome for two reasons. First, I always have a healthy amount of Red Gold tomatoes in my stock pile. Second, I have discovered that heating tomatoes releases an important antioxidant, called lycopene. In the end, I’ve got a healthy meal ready and waiting after a busy, cool Fall day. Perfection!
Here’s a recipe you can throw together in a matter of minutes. It is family-friendly and perfect for dinner.
