I was teasing a friend of mine the other day because she bought a slow cooker on Black Friday and all she know how to make in it is chili and dips! Now there is NOTHING wrong with a good pot of chili but there are LOTS of recipes using slow cookers. The best part is tossing just a few ingredients in before work and dinner is ready when you return! PLUS there's only one pot to clean at the end instead of several pans.
