It was cooked in the crock pot because Sears tried to deliver a damaged stove on 02/17/94. Chili was cooked on 02/19/94. The Daytona 500 is on Sunday the 20th. We will have ribs cooked in the Nesco. Linda made her potato salad and we will have this chili. NOTE: The crock pot was to full, use less meat or less liquid. NOTE: Chili was no good! We mixed it with dry dog food and gave it to the dogs. The meat must be browned before it is put in the C/P.
