This probably limits my scope in the grand scheme, since I don't have a slow cooker with a browning feature built in. But it's on my short-list, for sure. That said, I've been able to adapt most recipes to fit my "slow cooker ideal".
Take for instance a recipe for Dr. Pepper Chicken Tostadas that beckoned me from the pages of Scarletta Bakes. It was one of those times when the instant I saw it, I knew I'd be making it soon. But Meagan divides hers into two steps: cooking the chicken in the slow cooker and saucing it up on the stove top. Wasn't gonna happen. Though I stuck to her ingredients and basic formula, I worked it out so that the only dish I had to dirty, was the crock of my slow cooker. Oh yeah.
