Crock Pot Caramel

Homemade caramel is so easy and Yummy!
You will need Unopened can of condensed milk completely submerged in water in the crock pot for 8 hrs  and then you will  cool down in the fridge and it makes Caramel! This is the best cararmel ever!!Don’t use the can with the pop-top, either. Make sure you :Remove the paper label.
Place on a saucer in the bottom of a crockpot (the can leaves a rust ring).
Add water to fully submerge the can.
Cover, set on LOW for 8 hours. .

In the morning, turn crockpot to OFF and let cool on its own, at least 3 hours. Then retrieve your can,and open can. Soo yummy!the longer you cook the darker it gets :)These are absolutely amazing!! However, I preferred them all with the vanilla too.

Crock Pot Chili

We are a family of Chili lovers so I'm always trying out different recipes and since I think Chili is one of those foods that tastes best when it's been cooking for long long hours, there's nothing like Crockpot Chili.

3 onions, sliced
2 c. water
28-oz. can crushed tomatoes
6-oz. can tomato paste
2 stalks, celery
1 green pepper, cut into strips
16-oz. can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
16-oz. can white beans, drained and rinsed
pepper, garlic powder, parsley, chili powder and hot pepper sauce to taste
14-3/4 oz. can corn, drained

Place beef, onions and water in slow cooker. Add tomatoes and tomato paste; stir well. Add celery, green pepper and beans. Stir in seasonings to taste; top with corn. Cover and cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours, or on high setting for 5 to 6 hours, stirring occasionally.
Makes 6 servings.



Place meat, onions and water into the crockpot. Like I said, I went with what I had on hand and used ground beef.

Add the celery and tomatoes


Next go in the beans, don't forget to drain and rinse them

Next add the spices, I left out the hot sauce though otherwise the kids wouldn't eat it.

Set it on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours. Seriously the smell of chili cooking is enough to make you drool.


We always sprinkle shredded cheese on ours. YUMMY!
