Hearty winter root vegetables take well to long hours in the slow cooker. Turnips or rutabagas can be substituted for the parsnips in this easy slow-cooker classic. For a richer flavor, treat yourself to a bit of cream.

Cooks' Note

Suggested Beverage: A hearty red, such as a Zinfandel or Syrah, or a rosé.
