  • Total 8 hr 10 min
  • Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds pork boneless loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 carton (32 ounces) Progresso™ chicken broth (4 cups)
  • 2 cups 1/2-inch diced peeled parsnips
  • 1 1/2 cups 1-inch cubes peeled butternut squash
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened

Steps

  • 1
    Mix all ingredients except flour and butter in 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker.
  • 2
    Cover and cook on low heat setting 6 to 7 hours (or high heat setting 3 to 4 hours) or until pork is no longer pink and vegetables are tender.
  • 3
    Mix flour and butter. Gently stir flour mixture, 1 spoonful at a time, into pork mixture until blended.
  • 4
    Cover and cook on high heat setting 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer’s directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.

  • Parsnips are root vegetables that look like creamy white carrots. They have a slightly sweet flavor that goes nicely with pork.
  • Not partial to parsnips? Instead of the parsnips, add two more sliced carrots to the stew. It'll be just as colorful and tasty.
