I know! I ran out of foil!  I hope they come out ok. 

I only tried potatoes in foil, and they were great. 

Try red potatoes, butternut squash, beets, red onions, parsnips, carrots: cube all, spray the pot with oil, add veggies and some thyme, and put on high for 3.15 hours.  It is my favorite dish that cooks so fast.  Esp. the beets.

Thank you! I will. Any issues doing it on low for 8?

No, I just never tried.  Although I am tempted: DH often forgets to turn the crockpot on when he is instructed to, and then we have to either eat later than planned, or eat something else.

I am making a spicy black bean soup in the crock pot today.  We got some great powdered chiles for the holiday, and I was happy to be able to put them to use.
