update on the stew

Forgot to mention...the crockpot stew turned out really good (caro, you were right!). If I had it to do over again (and I will in the near future), I would put in less onions and more water. After sitting on warm for 2 hours until we got home, the potatoes were sticking to the side a little, and the sauce wasn't quite as liquid as I would have liked. The flavor was very good, though, and it's a recipe I will definitely try again.

Next on the crockpot agenda--shepherd's pie. Then, on a weekend, I am going to try this turkey chipotle chili. (I can't do it during the week because it only has a 4 hour cook time.)

Lovin' that crockpot. :)

Whoohoo! The crockpot is awesome once you get over that initial hesitation!
Also, the chipotle chili sounds great!

My mom does a killer leftover soup in her crockpot- the leftovers from all week (macaroni, hamburger, veggies, you name it) gets cut up and thrown in there with some soup stock or water and oxo cubes and it makes a great lazy weekend soup!

Enjoy!

Not to sound like the dumbass guy or anything, but what are oxo cubes?
