Hearty Pork Stew (Crock Pot)

Ingredients
3 lbs pork boneless loin, cut into 1 inch cubes
4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4" slices
3 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2" chunks
1 medium onion, chopped
32 oz chicken broth
1.5 cups 1-inch cubes peeled butternut squash (I personally hate peeling butternut squash. If you're lucky, your grocery store will sell pre-cut butternut in the vegetable aisle.)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tbsp flour
water

Instructions
1. Mix all ingredients except the flour and water in the crock pot.
2. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 hours (you might want to stir the mixture once after four hours).
3. Mix the flour into a small amount of water (~1-2 tbsp) until a liquid forms. 1 spoonful at a time, mix this into the crock pot.
4. Cover and cook on high heat for another 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Turn the crock pot off and pour the mixture into a freezer-ready storage container (ziploc tupperware works fine). Place a piece of masking tape on the top of the container and write "Pork Stew" and the date on it. After it cools a bit, toss it in the freezer.
