It’s no secret that I LOVE my slow cooker — actually, let’s make that slow cookers, because I have several different models to fit any occasion.
Let’s see… there’s the basic 5-quart Stainless Steel Crock-Pot (my tried and true fave). There’s also the Crock-Pot Little Dipper, which is perfect for keeping dips, sauces and gravies warm, and my Programmable 4-Quart Oval Crock-Pot. Oh, and I almost forgot my Crock-Pot Triple Dipper that’s perfect for walking tacos on game day!
Yes, my husband’s been on me to get rid of one or two, but I can’t bear to part with any of them. In fact, I just added one more to my collection (shhhh…) — the new Crock-Pot Casserole Crock. If you’ve ever been frustrated with the way your slow cooker enchiladas, casseroles, or lasagna turn out, you need one of these new crocks! The rectangular stoneware is the perfect size and shape for cooking these dishes, and the lids locks on securely for easy transport on the go.
It’s also perfect for my family’s favorite slow cooker chex mix recipe. Though I did have to halve the recipe in order to make it fit in the smaller format, the wide flat bottom speeds up the cooking time to about 60 minutes, instead of the 90 minutes in the original recipe. Plus, you can turn it off and serve it right in the crock. You really should try this recipe for your next game day get together — it’s always a hit!
