I don't use a crock pot, I don't have one. But I do make things like soups, chili, spaghetti sauce, etc., in a huge pot. What I love about it is that I come home from work and don't even have to think about what I am going to make for dinner, which is a pain in the butt for me.

I have never put rice in chili, and I don't even think that my chili would have room for rice. How do you make your chili? I use different kinds of beans...pinto, kidney, black beans. But when I lived in Houston, I was told that my chili was not proper since you are not supposed to have beans in it, and I have a lot of beans.
