WELCOME

Welcome to this slow cooker/crockpot blog. I believe slow cookers are the best thing to happen to modern day cooks. I used mine often when I worked outside the home and continue to do so even in retirement. It is so nice to put food on and forget about it. Slow cookers also allow us to cook many things we would normally have to use the oven for; what a relief in hot Texas weather! Some of these recipes are mine, many are ones I have collected over the years.

BLACK BEAN SALSA DIP


2 cans (15 1/2-oz each) low-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup salsa (your favorite brand)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 lime, juiced and rind grated
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup sliced green onions
24 celery sticks
tortilla chips for serving, if desired.

Combine the beans, salsa, cumin, and garlic in a slow cooker or crock-pot. Cover and cook until the beans are hot, 2 to 4 hours on low or half that time on high.

At the end of the cooking time, stir the lime juice and grated peel into the cooker. Using a large spoon or even a potato masher, coarsely mash the bean mixture. Stir in the cilantro and green onions.

Serve warm with the celery sticks and/or tortilla chips, if desired.
