Two in a Row

Today's culinary experiment, another slow-cooker dish, was labeled "Mediterranean Minestrone Casserole". It seems a bit too liquid to deserve the name of "casserole"; it's more like a good thick vegetarian stew, with tomatoes, garbanzos, carrots, green beans, onion, garlic, and a variety of spices. (The recipe called for "Italian seasoning", which I didn't have and didn't want to buy; I went online and found a recipe, and made a little bottle of the stuff.) Very tasty.

Meanwhile, it's 22-0 at halftime. Go 'Hawks!

Was that from the Betty Crocker cookbook?

Most crockpot 'casseroles' aren't. Casseroles, that is. The crockpot retains too much liquid for them.

Yes, it's from the same book. I'm not surprised by the bit about "casseroles", in retrospect, but I was expecting a bit more absorption.
