If there are any grain based foods you are still eating, spoon the chili generously over that. Let it be the flavoring. This will work on starchy veggies, rice, any form of pasta or polenta... If it is carby and bland, throw the chili on it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'd try quinoa -- mor e protien , less carb
Quinoa is my my one true grain at the moment. I can definitely throw some of that together.
Can I just ask, where has a crock pot been all my life?
This is the third batch of chili I've made in the last month...enough for 7 or eight meals.
No proficiency yet with any other dishes, but this one is pretty dang good.
I haven't tried it myself, but my family loves when I cook a pork tenderloin in the crock pot. I am fairly lazy about it, I pour a container of salsa on top of it and let it slow cook away. For myself vegetarian chili is one of my favorite crock pot meals.

My crockpot would be worth the price of admission if it could only do chili. It's that awesome. But it also does any other kind of soup/stew business I throw at it. Or into it.
At Steph's recommendation I made lasagna in the crock pot a while back. I was amazed how well it turns out. I was expecting sort of like a skillet lasagna, but it's brown and crispy on top, perfectly done underneath - not mushy or soupy. And super easy.
brenda, last night, as I was lying in bed, the subject that crossed my mind was Steph's crock pot lasagne!
Honestly, I was ruminating on the unbelievability of physics of just what you described. How can that be?
How can _anything_ be crispy in that environment!
I make granola in my crock pot, too -- it's a lot less prone to burning than when I make it in the oven.

GENIUS
Seriously, I must try this. Because I love granola, and it just never goes well when I try to make my own.
Magic, is my theory.
