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!
