Since our kitchen is small, it heats up very easily. I love using my crockpot to make a roast or even a roasting chicken. That is one reason I enjoy following your posts. robeader53@yahoo.com

My mom always made homemade Ham & Cheese rolls. They were big like a pepperoni roll, but stuffed with boiled ham & Velveeta cheese chunks. They are good warm, cold, with or without butter. I think d to get her to make a batch for my birthday. =)

32 years ago I received my crockpot as a wedding gift and am trying to learn how to cook in it. I
have only cooked Corn Beef and Cabbage in it all these years, but just cooked the Corn Cassarole recipe for a potluck last week and everyone loved it. I had only cooked it in the oven before. The crockpot recipe was better and so moist.

So glad you loved it! I am a huge corn casserole fan and I much prefer it in the crock pot too! We make it every holiday that way. Good luck on your slow cooking adventure and I hope you enjoy the site! ~ Cris
