Slow Cooker Borscht
 
This recipe can be made on the stove-top as well but nothing beats coming home to a cooked comfort food like this!
Ingredients
  • 10 cups boiling water
  • 2 cups chopped beets (about 4 beets, peeled and chopped)
  • 2-3 potatoes, cubed
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 1 can stewed tomatoes
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Boil 10 cups of water and pour into slow cooker (if you don't have time, just pour cold water in, it has all day to cook!)
  2. Add the remaining ingredients, cover and cook for 8-10 hours on low or 5-6 hours on high.
  3. Serve with sour cream if desired (I desire sour cream!!)
Notes
I squish the stewed tomatoes into the borscht before serving, to break them up a bit. Serve with sour cream, salt and pepper.

When peeling the beets, I use a vegetable peeler and latex gloves. Or, have nice beet stained hands for a few days like my mother and grandmother did! ;)
