Well, as it was my first time with the frozen mixed beans, not so hot. I don't think the beans were fully cooked so they soaked up more of the liquid then I expected. It still tastes pretty good, but it's still a work in progress.
I love my crockpot. My family's favorite receipe is the beef stroganoff. In the morning before work, I slice round steak (cheap, lean & easy meat) into strips and throw it in the crockpot (amount depends on how many are eating and how much we want for leftovers) Throw in frozen chopped onions (I'm all about convienence) 1 can of campbell's golden mushroom soup, 1 can campbells beefy mushroom soup, & two cans of water or so. I kind of eyeball it depending on how much meat there is. You want a lot of extra water, because when you get home from work, you turn the crockpot from low heat to high heat and throw in however much wide egg noodles you want. And let it set for about a half an hour. Usually during this time, I run upstairs and change clothes, set the table, clear out the dishwasher and by then it's ready. I have no idea on the calories or anything, because I made this before my "lifestyle change".
Another good one is chicken noodle soup, so easy. I make roasts in it w/potatoes. Chicken breasts cook up great in it. BBQ beef.
