Got’ta love the crock pot and this simple dish sounds so good. I’ll certainly give it a try here in the next few days.

Hope you enjoy this!! It's easier than easy. One thing - never crockpots cook faster than the older models - so watch your cook time - over-cooked meat gets stringy.

Ah see there you go I just learned something new. Recently I purchased a Lager crock-pot (8 liters 4.25 gallon) because I always had a hard time to find a chicken to fit into my little two quart one, not to mention two quarts of stew didn’t give me that many lazy day meals.

Any way it seemed with my new one the low setting was high. Last week I did up my simple chili started the crock-pot went to work came home and found that the chili was just about boiling and had evaporated quit considerably I looked yes it’s on low I’ve made the mistake before, but that wasn’t the case. So I had been thinking that there must be something wrong with the thermostat until now. Thanks for the info.

This kind of defeats the purpose of a Crock-pot the nice slow cooking, pep the night before, keep in the fridge, turn on before you leave the house, great tasting meal when you get home.

I know R-Mon - but they have changed the heating elements throughout the years and those "cook 8 to 10 hours on low" are now done in 5 - 6+ on low. Maybe you should invest in a timer???

It's an inconvenience to many who used to depend on a hot meal after coming home from work.

Don't follow a good 95% of the recipes here for cook times - most of them are from the old days with the old cookers.

Well this morning I got up prepped this dish set my timer and off to work I went. I got home and the house had a wonderful aroma. I did up some rice, and sat down man was this good.

The only draw back was that I’ve over indulged.

Glad to hear you had a timer! That's one way to lick the problem with new heating elements VS old heating elements!

Over indulgence is good - you ate a nutritious meal - not empty calories/junk food!
