How
To Make Fall Vegetable Sloppy Joes :
In
a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring
occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard
drippings. In the same skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heat
until beef is no longer pink and onion is tender, 10-12 minutes, breaking up
beef into crumbles; drain.
Transfer
to a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker. Stir in squash, parsnips, carrots, cola, tomato
paste, water, mustard and seasonings. Cook, covered, on low until vegetables
are tender, 4-5 hours. Stir in bacon. Serve on buns.
Freeze
option: Freeze cooled meat mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially
thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring
occasionally and adding a little water if necessary.
