Makes 6 servings
1 Flavorseal Fireside Chili Slow Cooker Liner
1 lb of roast (chunk or cross rib work best)
1/2 lb cooked ground beef
1 1/3 cup dried pinto beans, rinsed and sorted
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
2 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
2 cups water
Plenty of Salt and Pepper to taste
1. Soak the pinto beans in plenty of water overnight or do the quick soak method. Drain water from beans.
2. Unfold liner and place into slow cooker, gently pushing sides sot hat liner is evenly spread out. Fold unseasoned side of the bag over slow cooker edges to hold it in place.
3. Add beans, roast, ground beef, tomatoes, tomato sauce and water. Stir and ensure that all seasoned portions of the liner are moistened.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for about 7-9 hours. Roast should be very tender. Remove roast and shred and add back in.

Review:
I think that these seasoned slow cookers liners are a grand idea. They are perfect for those working moms that have limited time in the morning to get everything in the slow cooker. Plus the clean-up is a cinch! I have to say after using them for several recipes I think they are best if you are doing a large batch of something. The liners are very large and work well for a 6-7 quart slow cooker. This chili was ultra meaty with the 2 types of beef. My husband loved it, of course. You could of course use 2 cans of pinto beans instead...cut down on the water by half. 3 1/2 stars.

OH my. As much as I love my slowcooker, I think that I would never ever eat from it if told it was in a plastic bag that had been 'seasoned' in a factory somewhere.....never ever... I know its probably a paid review, but doesn't it make you uncomfortable? a little?
Hi wifemother – I’m from Flavorseal (the maker of the slow cooker liners). Karen wasn’t paid for her review. All we asked was for her honest opinion, and we were overjoyed that she liked them.
Our products fill a need for people who don’t always have time to cook from scratch, but we recognize that they aren’t for everyone. If you would like more information about our products and how they are made, I would be happy to provide it.
I have never heard of these before. Can you buy them at the grocery store? I did go to the Flavorseal website, is that the only place to buy them. I am super curious.
