This is one of my all time favorite slow-cooker recipes. It's always comforting, when the weather is chilly outside, to come home to this warm, home-cooked meal.—Mary Hankins, Kansas City, Missouri

I was drawn to this recipe for 2 reasons: 1. Sweet Potatoes, and 2. Parsnips - I love Sweet Potatoes and had to use up some Parsnips. These contributed to a unique and flavorful meal. I had to half the recipe because I have a 3 qt slow-cooker (just me and the wife), but will be making the other half in a couple of days. This is an excellent meal.
