Slow Cooker Red Kidney Bean, Barley and Vegetable Soup with Hamilton Beach Set and Forget 6 Quart Programmable Slow Cooker and Giveaway!
Disclosure: Hamilton Beach provided this slow cooker to me for review
Now that fall has fully kicked in here in MN, we've been using the slow cooker to cook so many recipes! It's especially convenient when using the Hamilton Beach Set and Forget 6 Quart Programmable Slow Cooker! This slow cooker is pretty awesome! Let me tell you...
All you do is program if you'd like a high or low setting and the amount of time you like to cook your meal for! There is also the thermometer probe option for cuts of meat that need to reach a certain temp. Once your meal is finished, the slow cooker automatically switches to the warm option. No more burned meals! It makes slow cooking easier than ever!
I also love that this slow cooker is travel friendly! The lid has a set of clips that lock it in place! The rubber seal around the lid makes sure there are no leaks on the way to your destination! Perfect for holidays or family gatherings!
This slow cooker really is the perfect addition to our family and easy mealtimes. There's nothing like sitting around the table together and sharing highlights of our day! I love having more time with my daughter and less time at the stove! Hamilton Beach makes it super easy with their included full set of instructions and recipe suggestions. It also comes with a one year warranty!
Now for the giveaway! You have a chance to win one of these great slow cookers for yourself!
I'm also including a great recipe for you to try in your slow cooker! This soup is so hearty and delicious!! It's filling and the leftovers are fantastic!
