Make sure to remember these awesome slow cooker tips:
~ Coat the ceramic liner with cooking spray before adding ingredients, this will make clean up a snap!
~ Preheat slow cooker on high while prepping ingredients, then once it’s ready to go turn to low if a longer cook time is desired.
~Never add frozen ingredients; it takes too long for ingredients to reach a high enough heat and get through the temperature danger zone (40-140 degrees) in max of 4 hours.
~ If you’re cooking in the summer time, prep the slow cooker once it’s ready to go just put it out in the garage to cook so it won’t heat up the house!

Happy Monday!
