That is a bunch of "crock" pot

Haha, that guy. Um umm DELISH  :lol:

Not sold on this one. You could literally make a real homemade better pizza much quicker the traditional way. But maybe, if the 4 hour delay worked out timing wise….

Yeah, I don't totally get it.  I am sure it tastes good but it just seems like one of those "why bother" type things.  

I could see making it once, loving it, then never making it again. 

 
I rarely use my crockpot anymore... probably been a few years. Part of that is because I just got into the habit of cooking certain types of meals/cuisines that aren't really for a crockpot. Or, I just don't plan very well, so making it at dinner time ends up happening as opposed to hours in advance.

I definitely run into the "over-making" problem, too. It's easy to load up a crockpot and then have way too much food, and then after having something for a couple of meals it sort of loses its luster.

I remember one time probably 7-8 years ago I made this big crockpot full of chicken tortilla soup and I was really excited to eat it. That night, I got some kind of stomach virus (before I'd even had a bite) so I ended up storing all of it. And for some reason, the smell of the soup (even though I didn't eat any of it) gave me nausea for like a week. I ended up having to throw it all out.

It could be worse. During my wife’s first pregnancy we had prime rib one night. She got sick, I’m sure because of her condition and not the prime rib, and ever since (about 30 years) she detests prime rib….which adversely affects me because I love it and she still never wants it. I guess the good part is, when I do make prime rib, I get all of it but then I’m in the same boat as a huge crock pot of stuff you get tired of eating  :lol:

That's a lot more expensive to throw out than a bunch of bean soup.

Leftover prime rib sandwiches with horseradish sauce are amazing. I typically only make prime rib once or twice a year though.

Yeah that’s how most of it gets eaten. About 2-4 slabs of meat then the rest gets made into sandwiches with horseradish sauce and sometimes with some green pepper and onion.

I prefer raw horseradish and au jus when eating slices, and the creamy horseradish sauce on sandwiches. If your grocery store doesn’t have it, you can get Johnny’s Au Jus from Amazon. Good stuff but limited shelf life. They make a powder you mix with water but I haven’t tried that one.

 
Here is an easy one

Back of frozen tortellini, two jars of sauce, use a red sauce and white sauce (pasta sauce), some meatballs, if you want and a bag of spinach.  Add some shredded cheese at the end and enjoy.
