Slow Cooker Root Vegetables Sausage Stew

We enjoyed this slow cooker root vegetables sausage stew for dinner Friday night, with Mac and my brother, Peter.

Served with crusty French bread, it made a hearty, satisfying meal, perfect for this time of year.

All four of us agreed that it was tasty and worthy of making again, especially during the fall and winter, when we crave chill-chasing comfort food.

WW Friendly Slow Cooker Root Vegetables and Sausage Stew

Be sure to include the parsnip when you make this slow cooker root vegetables sausage stew. It has a mellow sweet flavor that works well with the potato, sweet potato, carrots and sausage.

You can make this ahead too. Just put everything except the parsley in the ceramic crock of your slow cooker, cover and refrigerate for up to 12 hours.

Then, when you are ready, pop the insert into your slow cooker, turn it on and continue cooking as directed.

I definitely plan on making this again.
