Chili is always good as is spagetti and roast.

To make a roast I add one package of Lipton Onion Flavor Mix. Fill crock half full of water. Some A1 sauce, onions, celery, peppers, potaotes, carrots, black pepper, garlic powder and then simmer for about 6 hours. I do make sure everything is covered with water.

There are tons of good cook books at the library that can help. Have fun and eat well.
