Made this many times but not in a crackpot. For me, no meat, but otherwise I followed it to the letter.
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 carton (32 ounces) chicken broth
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (15 ounces) white kidney or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
2 medium carrots, chopped
1-1/2 cups finely chopped cabbage
1 celery rib, chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup ditalini or other small pasta
Grated Parmesan cheese, optional
In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until beef is no longer pink and onion is tender; drain. Transfer to a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Stir in the broth, tomatoes, beans, carrots, cabbage, celery, basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until vegetables are tender.
Stir in pasta. Cover and cook on high 30 minutes longer or until pasta is tender. Sprinkle with cheese if desired. Yield: 8 servings (2-1/2 quarts).
