I have a love hate relationship with my crockpot. I love the idea of a one pot dinner, I love the idea of a meal cooking while I'm not. But -- I hate all of the precooking that is usually involved, I hate the texture of the meat and vegetables that are cooked past their prime.
That's not the case at all with this soup/stew/chili. Everything is added to the pot, nothing is precooked, and nothing comes out overcooked. Definitely a keeper and a great quick slow-cooking meal for those cool nights we're enjoying.
