A great side dish, or a simple sausage and sweet potato main dish, all done in your slow cooker! Toss a package of prewashed salad greens with your favorite dressing, and dinner is served.

Ingredients

• 12 oz bulk pork sausage, thawed if frozen
• 2 large leeks, sliced (about 2 cups)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 3 lb dark orange sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch slices (8 cups)
• 1 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup apple juice or chicken broth

Steps

• 1

  Spray 4- to 4 1/2-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In 10-inch skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in leeks and thyme.

• 2

  In slow cooker, layer half the sweet potatoes, sausage mixture and cheese. Repeat with remaining sweet potatoes and sausage mixture. Pour apple juice over top; sprinkle with remaining cheese.

• 3

  Cover; cook on High heat setting 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until sweet potatoes are tender.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

• tip 1

  Clean leeks thoroughly before using them; they trap a lot of sand and dirt beneath their many layers. First, remove the green tops to within 2 inches of the white part. Peel the outside layer of the bulb, and wash several times in cold water.

• tip 2

  Many varieties of sweet potatoes are available. We like the dark orange-skinned sweet potatoes for this dish because they not only make a richer colored dish but also a tastier, sweeter one.
