Ingredients

3 turnips, peeled and cubed
1 medium butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cubed
1 acorn squash - peeled, seeded, and diced
1 medium onion, diced
2 cups dry kidney beans
½ cup dry navy beans
½ cup dry black beans
½ cup dry green lentils
1 (15 ounce) can spaghetti sauce
2 cubes chicken bouillon
⅛ teaspoon taco seasoning mix, or to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
1 pinch dried basil, or to taste
1 pinch dried oregano, or to taste

Directions

Place turnips, butternut squash, acorn squash, and onion in the bottom of a slow cooker. Rinse kidney beans, navy beans, black beans, and lentils; add to the cooker. Stir in spaghetti sauce, chicken bouillon, taco seasoning, pepper flakes, garlic salt, basil, and oregano. Add enough water to just cover the beans and vegetables.
Cover and cook until all vegetables are tender, about 8 1/2 hours.

Cook's Notes:

Use any winter squash you prefer instead of butternut squash, and any spices you prefer.

Add more water if you like it soupy.
