Shipwreck

This is the second recipe in honor of Canada and the February Olympics. I had never heard of Shipwreck, but apparently it's Canadian. I read other versions and changed the recipe, using ground turkey instead of beef, adding more veggies and spices, and using a slow cooker instead of the oven. It's easy to prepare, and makes a great, hearty meal for snowy winter days.


Shipwreck


2 large onions, chopped
olive oil
3 chopped garlic cloves
2 medium potatoes, chopped or sliced
1 lb. ground beef or turkey
chopped celery
chopped carrots
frozen peas
1 can pinto beans
1 small can tomato sauce (no salt added)
3/4 cup water
sea salt
black pepper
dried oregano
dried parsley
red pepper flakes (op)
paprika (op)
turmeric (op)
fresh basil leaves (op)


Mix a little olive oil with garlic, onion, salt and pepper in the bottom of a large slow cooker. Layer potatoes over that and season. Add a layer of ground meat, more seasoning, veggies, more seasoning, pinto beans, tomato sauce and water... and top with more seasoning. Cook in slow cooker on high for about 4 hours.
