So you don’t have time to cook every night? Then you need a crock pot! Put in all the ingredients and for get about it. That’s right make big batch of Gumbo or Chili and freeze what you don’t eat for later. Crock pot or slow cookers are great for the busy house wife or husband because you don’t have to stand over it all the time. You can get a lot of other things done while crock slowly cooks your dinner. As long as it doesn’t run out of liquid your good.

Now I recommend getting the biggest slow cooker that you can, if your going to let something cook all day you might as well get the most out of it as you can. I actually have two slow cookers and there are times that I have them both going.
