This hearty slow cooker stew is loaded with great flavor and texture. I love this dish because while it feels so comforting, it's so nutritious thanks to all of the veggies that cook to tender perfection in the slow cooker. 

I love this recipe for a family dinner, especially something fun like a great game day. Set it out with your favorite toppings, like avocado, queso fresco or feta, green onions, jalapeños, limes, and the one side dish I always make with this: cornbread. All of the fun accoutrements really make this feel like a fun and festive lunch or dinner.
