This recipe is from Not You Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Entertaining. It's very easy and pretty good. I used a 3 1/2 quart crock pot.

Ingredients

• 1  large sweet potato
• 6  medium carrots

1. Peel sweet potato and chop into pieces no larger than 1 inch. Peel the carrots and chop into pieces no larger 3/4 inches. Peel the onion and chop into 3/4 inch pieces.
