My mom insisted a slow cooker was pointless for a quick dinner, but after a hectic Tuesday last month, I finally tried her 'dump and go' chili recipe (it took 8 minutes to prep) and we ate at 6:15 sharp.

So, for anyone else who's been skeptical, what's your favorite truly fast slow cooker recipe (you know, the kind you can actually throw together after work)?

dump and go" convinced me too, my pulled pork is stupid easy.

That method is a total game changer for weeknight dinners. It turns a big project into something you can actually do after work. More people need to know about this.

And is that 8 minutes of prep realistic, or does it include stuff like opening cans and measuring spices? I say that because my "quick" recipes always end up taking me twice as long as the website claims. What's the actual longest step in that chili recipe of hers, because I bet it's chopping the onion or something.
