Crock-Pot Cooking

Crock-Pot Cooking

                                                                               

          

I love using my crock-pot.  It happens to be my favorite of all kitchen appliances.  There is nothing like filling a crock-pot with ingredients, leaving for the day, and coming home to the aroma of a homecooked meal greeting you at the door.  

A crock-pot, or slow cooker is one of the most reliable and versatile appliances you can own.  There isn't much you can't cook in it.  I have even cooked cake in my crock-pot.

Today I will be cooking a beef soup.  I know it's the middle of the summer but this soup is so good we eat it year round. I think you will like the recipe.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

I know, I do go overboard with the vegetables but that is what it makes this Crock-Pot Beeb soup so good, all those delicious, nutritious, healthy vegetables.

Tip of the Day

Cooking with your crock-pot can save you money.  No only is it easy and fuss-free but using it for 8 hours cost the same as using your oven for one hour.
