That's funny. Fortunately I didn't get that problem. I'll always remember that closer2fine gave it to me though. UM UM GOOD!

Mango, honey, you need the Southern Living Crock-Pot cookbook.
Chili is my most absolute favorite thing. I don't have a magic recipe, except that I rely on Chili-O seasoning to take care of the chili powder, etc for me. Just ground beef (I use 1/2 beef and 1/2 ground turkey), a couple of cans of diced tomatos, rinsed and drained black beans, rinsed and drained red beans, tomato sauce, and salt. Maybe a little bit of water to loosen it up.
If we've managed to turn you on to boiled peanuts, like the ones that were at the soiree, but you can't get "green" peanuts in NY:
I bag jumbo raw peanuts
1/2 cup salt
Combine in 5 to 6 quart slow cooker and add water to cover. Cook on High for about 18 hours. Check water level every four hours or so, as they soak it up. I nearly fried the last batch I did! Can then pack and freeze for upcoming events requiring boiled peanuts.
As I am normally in no mood to cook, much less to cook chicken just to add to a recipe calling for cooked chicken, I also buy chicken breasts on sale and throw 6-7 of them in at a time, season liberally with seasoned salt, and seasoned pepper, turn it to low, and let them go. Assuming the males in my home don't eat it all before I get back, I chop up the meat and freeze it.
One thing to be careful about...more than once, I have gotten up early and put an excellent meal in the crockpot, only to have my spouse call my office two hours later to ask if I meant to plug it in and turn it on.
Thanks for this! I love boiled peanuts, but they take so long that they make the house smell like wet peanut shells for about a week. In the crock-pot, I can put it on the porch and let them cook!
Wonderful recipes! Thanks. I have a crockpot, but do not use it nearly enough. The recipes will make good dinners for the nights I tutor late.
Mostly I use mine for convenience and for cooking a lot of meat for someone on a low carb diet. So I don't have many fancy recipes but I have discovered you can cook just about any kind of meat by slicing up very thick slices of onion and layering them in the bottom of the crock. If you are cooking something fatty like a pot roast, this keeps the meat up out of the grease and gives it some flavor besides. When it's done just pitch out the onions, they will be fat -soaked.
Yep re the onions. And...though they are expensive and made of plastic and probably not eco-friendly, crockpot liner bags are my favorite invention on this planet. I am afraid to use them on high for very long (for example, peanuts) but it sure makes post-mortem much easier! 
speaking of clean up,it's a snap now comparied to the days when you couldn't take the "crock" pot out of the electrical frame and soak in water.
Bump.
Can somebody tell me if this is anything like a lava cake? Thanks for posting this recipe!!!!
Also a big thanks to c2f for the beach updates, always look forward to them.
