This slow cooker split pea soup recipe is made with frozen hash brown potatoes and bacon instead of ham. It's a good winter comfort food and smells wonderful while cooking. It freezes well, so when my husband and I are busy all day, it's a quick dinner for us. I add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to spice it up a bit.
