A handful of ingredients and a slow cooker are all you'll need for this rich side dish from Judy McCarthy. "I first tasted it at a potluck with our camping club," says the Derby, Kansas contributor. "It's easy to assemble and frees up time to prepare the main coarse."

ChupaNote: I replaced the garlic powder with 1 teaspoon honey (yes, sweet not savory), and used 1/8 t. salt and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (red pepper). To stretch the recipe and add some color with a handful of minced shredded carrots, and handful of minced green bell pepper, and 2 tablespoon of minced red onion or shallots.
