      Hi Valerie! Nope. I did not cook or roast the vegetables prior to cooking them in the slow cooker.

    I have to tell you that I am so glad I came across this recipe. I had a squash that I needed to do something with and God sent me this recipe. This was a hit!! I omitted the celery,(don’t like it), added a little brown sugar, smoky BBQ chili seasoning and this was amazing! A huge hit with family.

    I’m added this as a staple this winter!

    Thank you so much!!!

    *** I tried rating it all 5’s put my phone wouldn’t let me.

    Thanks for this recipe! I made it in the instant pot by sauteing the meat first and then adding the ingredients +1 cup of beef broth and then pressure cooking for 25 minutes. Everyone loved it!
