[quote=Anonymous]I agree that the chopping and the browning is worth it in terms of flavor. To save time, I do all the prep work the night before, throw it in a bowl in the fridge, and dump it in the crock pot on my way out the door in the morning. I see the crock pot both as a way to save cooking time, but also a way to shift active cooking time from right before dinner to the morning or the night before, when there's less pressure. That said, there are a lot of "open and dump" recipes out there -- allrecipes.com is a good resource for those. But those tend to use a lot of highly-processed, high sodium food, like cream of mushroom soup, etc. Nothing wrong with that per se, but we don't really like the taste, so we stick with the other recipes.[/quote]
