Beans and (Veggie)Dogs

I’ve been obsessed with my slow cooker lately. The cold(ish) weather, plus busy days at work, plus evening activities like yoga class make me want a quick and easy dinner. I love EASY slow cooker recipes with little to no prep work. The kind of recipes where you just throw lots of stuff in the slow cooker and set it for 8 hours.

This recipe from I Married an Omnivore is just that (She has TONS of great looking slow cooker recipes, so you’ll probably see her recipes on the blog). Throw three cans of baked beans (I used Whole Food’s fat free baked beans), some sliced up veggie dogs (I used Smart Dogs), some onions, some molasses, ketchup and mustard in the slow cooker, mix together and voila! A super easy supper.

No woof, lots of yum

I served with some brown rice from the rice cooker (it cooked while I took the dog on his evening walk) along with a sprinkle of Daiya Cheddar and a dollop of Tofutti sour cream.

I’m going to try some slow cooker stew, slow cooker “pot roast,” and a new lasagna recipe in the next couple of weeks!

Do you have any slow cooker favorites?
