I'm new to using the slow cooker. Everytime I try a recipe that includes chicken or turkey and the veggies, the veggies are disgusting. They get nasty chicken/turkey slime all over them from the meat that cooked in the crock pot all day or get so completely overcooked that they are inedible. Should I stop trying to use the crock pot to do an all in one meal while I'm at work and just make the veggies and starch sides once I get home? (As if there's time to make anything once I get home!) My husband, who does most of our cooking, will be traveling a ton for the rest of the year and if I don't figure something out soon, my son and I might starve! All help is appreciated.

Hi Susan- I use my slow cooker a few times a week. It is a real life saver! What I usually do is start with frozen meat whenever possible, then put the veggies on top, followed by the seasonings and then add liquid. When I use my slow cooker, I have to be able to leave it for about 10 hours and this technique works for pretty much everything. Good Luck! Lisa
