Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Serve food directly from the lined slow cooker. Once the slow cooker cools, remove the liner and throw away for easy cleanup.
  • tip 2
    Maque choux (pronounced MOCK shoo) means "smothered corn" in Cajun country. This corn is smothered with tomatoes, bell peppers and onions.
