Follow the directions on the back of a box of Shotgun Willie's Texas Chili mix but cook it in the cooker.

Funny you should mention this, because I was just writing a recipe for a crock pot stew.

Crock pots, IMHO, are a more essential kitchen component that Foreman grills. That's right, I said it [img]tongue.gif[/img]

You can pretty much throw anything in there at night, and in the morning you have a tender, tasty treat.

I made beef stew last night with 2 lbs of London Broil, baby carrots, onions, tomatoes, celery, flax seeds. Just cube the beef, brown it, bring 3 cups of water with a bouillon cube to a boil, then dump everything in the pot at 300-degrees overnight.

is 300 the high or low setting (my only choices)

[Johnka]

300 is medium

i dont have medium, better to do longer on low or shorter on high? i would think shorter on high to be better if youre cooking meat right?

Low would probably be better for overnight. It will make the meat more tender.
