⚠️ SAFETY NOTES
- Always thaw meat and poultry in the fridge before it goes in the slow cooker.
- Chicken and turkey are done at 165°F. Pork chops at 145°F, then rest 3 minutes. A meat thermometer is the only sure test.
- Blend hot soup carefully. Fill a blender only halfway and hold a towel over the lid.
- Use plain canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
