Instructions
  1. Chop sweet potatoes and carrots into small pieces, and boil in a pot until soft and easily speared with a fork (about 20-30 mins).
  2. In a frying pan, cook mushrooms, onions and minced garlic until soft. Add to bottom of slow cooker.
  3. In the same frying pan, brown the ground beef, and then add to slow cooker.
  4. When sweet potatoes and carrots are done, drain the water and mash them with a potato masher or fork. If you like them very very smooth, an immersion blender will work. When done, you guessed it, add them to the slow cooker.
  5. Add all remaining ingredients to the slow cooker and stir until mixed.
  6. Cover and cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 8.
  7. Serve and enjoy! Top with white cheddar cheese or chopped green onion, eat with a crusty roll or over NSF tortilla chips!
