WFMW - Backwards Edition

I'm posting this question here, on my recipe blog, to keep recipe related posts in one place.

O wise Internetz, I am in need of some slow cooker help! The last two times that I cooked something with potatoes in it, the potatoes were not cooked through. I love using my slow cooker, and I love the convenience of it. I don't like the idea of cooking on the stove then throwing everything in. Too many pots and pans!! So the thought of cooking the potatoes then putting them in the slow cooker makes me tremble. Any solutions?

Also, if you have any good slow cooker recipes to share, please leave a link in the comments. Also let me know if it's okay to republish your recipe here (giving you the linky love, of course!). I like to keep my recipes in one place so I don't have to tax my mommy brain with remembering where to find your awesome recipes.

WFMW - Alphabet/Quattro Soup

This is one of favorite recipe creations! I love one-pot meals that are quick and easy! Hubby calls this "Quattro Soup," because it has 4 main ingredients. It's really an easy alphabet soup!

Quattro Soup

1 lb. ground turkey

salt and pepper

1 large can diced tomatoes

beef broth+water to equal 8 cups

small alphabet or stars noodles

Brown ground turkey in large stockpot. Add a little olive oil if ground turkey is lean. Season with salt and pepper. Add diced tomatoes, beef broth and water. Simmer for 20-30 minutes. Five minutes before serving, add alphabet noodles. Just before serving, we add dried basil. This is also great topped with cheese (of course!)
