Bring on the cooler weather!
You come home after work and your dinner is ready.
<div class="hrecipe h-recipe
- 1 10 & 3/4-Ounce can condensed creamy onion soup
- 1 10 & 3/4-Ounce can tomato soup
- 1 Cup water
- 1 16-ounce can small white beans, drained and rinsed
- 3/4 pound polka kielbasa (I use beef) use whatever type you like. cut into 1/2 inch or smaller slices. (mine are cut way thinner. just a personal preference)
- 1 & 1/2 Cups potato, peeled and quartered. (again, my tater chunks are cut smaller)
- 1 cup carrots, sliced. (approximately 3 regular sized carrots = 1 cup ) buy 4 so you can munch while you make it.
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 bay leaf.
(and I do love the dump factor in my recipes)
DUMP all into a large crockpot and simmer on low all day until tender. I get up each morning around 4am so I start chopping and preparing dinner at around 4:30am. we eat dinner around 5:30pm. so, yes, you can literally walk away and do whatever for however long it takes. The stew still tastes good even if it simmers on low for more than 8-10 hours.
