Ingredients for 4 servings:
1. 1 1/2 cups sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch pieces or 1 1/2 cups carrots
2. 3 cups cooked rice
3. 1 lb sausage, sliced into bite size pieces
4. 2 large apples, chopped (no need to peel)
5. 1 cup yellow onion, chopped
6. 1/2 cup raisins
7. 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
8. 1/2 teaspoon cumin
9. 1 tablespoon brown sugar
10. 1/2 teaspoon allspice
11. 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
12. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
13. 1/3 cup chicken broth
14. 15 ounces black beans, drained

Directions:
1. If you are going to use uncooked sausage, brown on the stove top, and drain before adding to the crockpot.
2. Otherwise, line your 4 quart sized crock pot with a slow cooker liner, dump ingredients into the crock, and stir well.
3. Cover and cook on low for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the orange vegetable is tender.
4. STIR once during the cooking time. I have not made this on high but am guessing an hour with more frequent stirring.
