I think I'm going to throw a few chicken breasts, some vegetables, spices, and some chicken stock in the crock pot so it's ready this afternoon.

@Byron8by7 I have done that but usually do it on the stove.

@Tomorrow I call my chili recipe "Cheater Chili" because all of the ingredients, except for the ground beef, come from cans (beans) and jars (tomatoes, salsa). I use 93% ground beef, and I just put everything in the pot, set it, and forget it for several hours. Easy peasy.
