Are you looking for a new cookbook to get the most of your crock pot? Gooseberry Patchโs Busy Day Slow Cookingย might just be the answer you are looking for!


Cris here. Our friends at Gooseberry Patch sent us a couple copies of this new book and we put it to the test. We tried a variety of recipes including these 6 quick and easy crock pot recipes.
First up, we triedย Cooking Hot Dogs in Bulkย and LOVED it. We even made a Hot Dog Bar using our 3 Pot Party Slow Cooker and our Chili Cheese Dog Recipe.
We also tried the Crock Pot Polish Sausage Cabbage Soupย which was unlike any soup we had ever had before! Definitely, a must try for folks that want to try something different.
Easy Crock Pot Cowboy Beansย were simply perfection. They had that yummy familiar taste that you find at any respectable potluck ;).
Crock Pot Hot Fudge Peanut Butter Cakeย was simply decadent. So good.

Crock Pot Easy Italian Chickenย was a spin on the Italian Pot Roast in the cookbook that we absolutely love. The chicken was amazing as well! Love getting two dish ideas out of this delicious recipe. Both are in our regular menu rotation.
Crock Pot Under the Sea Dipย is a fun party recipe for seafood loves. It is a great alternative to some of the typical dips you find at the party table.
Now that we have given you a taste of Gooseberry Patchโs Busy Day Slow Cookingย how about we give one away to one lucky winner??

Like to try the Peanut Butter cake made in a crock pot. How easy can that get!
It would probably be the hot dogs. The recipes all look good, but between allergies and family members with various forms of finiky, I am rather limited!

Cowboy Beans are always a major favorite here in Arizona.
I think I have seen all of the videos Cris has done (masterfully directed from the back of the camera, I must add). Reminds me of the fun videos Alton Brown use to do on “Good Eats” (very entertaining). I know we have seen all your videos at least once and some multiple times for recipes we are making regularly to get the techniques down (especially the techniques of “How To Burn Yourself on a Crockpot” ;-). I am happy your wife bought you those heat resistant gloves. I use leather glove for my outdoor cast iron Dutch Ovens; saved me a lot of burns.
You have a massive collection of crockpots, wow!! We have only three crockpots (2, 4, and 6 quarts). After watching your videos on the Ninja Crockpot; we are now saving our pennies to buy one. What a great machine, who needs a kitchen with one of these things!
You may not always hear feedback from your fans, but we love you fine folks. Keep up the great work.
God Bless,
