A Letter to Crockpot Cookbook Writers

Dear Crockpot Cookbook Writers,
Thank you for writing a cookbook with lots of delicious, easy, and sometimes downright strange, recipes. I appreciate that you are trying to help make my day a little less hectic.

However, I DO NOT want to cook before using the crockpot. The whole point of the crockpot is so I don't have to cook.

If I wanted to brown meat and saute onions, then I would just make Hamburger Stroganoff and call it good. I want to throw a bunch of groceries in the pot, plug it in and walk away.

Just something to keep in mind for the future.
Sincerely,
Kerrie T.
