Author Notes: The author collected the recipes from folks all over the country. They provide maximum flavor and nutrition for a minimum preparation time investment. Many of today's slow cookers come with built in timers (if not you can buy a timer that turns appliances on and off at designated times), so you can throw ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning, set the timer and come home to a hot meal in the evening.

1 quart stewed, no-added-salt tomatoes with juice, or 2 cans (14 1/2-ounces) stewed, no-added-salt tomatoes with juice
