Just so that you know, the brown bits are called fond.

Looks delicious. A good hint with crock pots is to get the liners. Makes clean up so much easier.

Love my crockpot -Nothing beats the smell of food cooking all day in it. There are a lot of crockpot cook books out there. I also make stews and soups in mine. Have fun and enjoy yours.

One thing I just read was that you should not make chicken breasts in a slow cooker (food poisoning risk). Honestly, I've been putting them in my slow cooker for decades - even on low when I worked. Sometimes I don't know if I should believe things I see on Facebook.

ProudMa your meal looks delicious--do you have any leftovers you can share?

@ProudMa : nice!

I used the slow cooker function on my Ninja Foodi yesterday to make chili- a favorite crock pot recipe along with pot roast.

That looks great!! I'll be doing chicken in the crockpot with hot rolls this week too.

@ProudMa, What did you do with the rest of the beer? Inquiring minds want to know. :-)

@ProudMa That looks delicious. It will be fun trying out new recipes for the crock pot. Just goes to show it's never to late to learn anything new.

I have never used a crock pot...never even owned one but maybe I will now!

Looks yummy! You're making me hungry!

I made beef stew in my crockpot today! I love the liners. It used to be a lot of work cleaning the old style crockpots that you couldn't immerse in water.

I taught school and made many a meal in mine. Coming home to that smell was heaven!
