Autumn Sausage Casserole (In The Crock Pot ) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch pieces or 1 1/2 cups carrots
3 cups cooked rice
1 lb sausage, sliced into bite size pieces
2 large apples, chopped (no need to peel)
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)
1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
1/2 teaspoon allspice
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup chicken broth
15 ounces black beans, drained

Preparation

If you are going to use uncooked sausage, brown on the stove top, and drain before adding to the crockpot.
Otherwise, line your 4 quart sized crock pot with a slow cooker liner, dump ingredients into the crock, and stir well.
Cover and cook on low for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the orange vegetable is tender.
STIR once during the cooking time. I have not made this on high but am guessing an hour with more frequent stirring.
