Nowadays, all busy moms celebrate a little something called Cheatsterâ„¢, which means that you use your crock pot on the sly to create amazingly delicious dishes that your family will think you spent hours slaving away on.

Hopefully, you have some kind of secret space in your kitchen where you can work your slow cooker magic.

My mouth is watering just thinking about it. And the beauty of Cheatster crock pot cooking is that it really is so easy.
