[quote=Anonymous]I've had good luck with a number of recipes from "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook." Slow cooking involves some trial and error. Some slow cookers tend to run hot, so if you have one of those, you'll need to reduce cooking times or you'll end up with an overcooked mess. Generally, the more prep you do, like browning meats or sauteeing veggies, the better your finished product will be. The trick is finding a happy medium between the typical "dump in a few cans of this or that and forget about it for 12 hours" type recipes which often are not that appetizing, and the ultra-gourmet, 20 ingredients and a lot extra steps recipes which taste great but are not all that convenient if you're not at home to tend to them. There's a Corsican Chicken recipe on Taste of Home's website that is excellent. You'd never know it was made in a slow cooker. Good luck and have fun experimenting![/quote]
