[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our family loves chili. I make the ground beef onions peppers in advance and freeze. Also a base for spaghetti. 
Tomato juice, fire roasted tomatoes, the thawed beef in the pot. 
Next I purée red pepper, carrots, and sprinkle with maza 
Cook in microwave for 3:30 minutes in steamer. 
Add spices from the orange bag: Six gun chili seasoning. I only use half 
Frozen corn 2 packages. No beans. 
Seasoning: smoked paprika, garlic, smoked salt if handy. Red cayenne pepper. Salt. 
2 tablespoons lemon juice. 
Stir up and cook for 15 minutes in crockpot in high. 
Serve and add shredded cheese. 
We like it.

I’ve never heard a recipe that’s 15 minutes in a slow cooker. Mine is barely getting anything warm by then. [/quote]

Probably means pressure cooker, not slow cooker[/quote]
Then why are they cooking everything in advance? Color me confused. [/quote]

The attitude in this thread makes me afraid to clarify but: everything is cooked in advance. The meat is cooked frozen and reheated in the microwave. The peppers, carrots, and masa are steamed in the microwave.  The tomato juice and tomatoes are heated up in the microwave. Then it all sits in the crock pot for awhile. It’s quick it tastes good. It’s healthy. The crockpot just keeps it warm and let’s it simmer a bit. More of a holding pattern for late arrivals. We don’t usually sit around for hours cooling things on the stove. To each their own. [/quote]
Is it so wrong to ask for clarification of a recipe that was posted? Especially one not the way it’s normally done. [/quote]
