When it comes to Crock-Pot meals [1], most people assume all you can make is a comforting chili or savory bowl of soup [2]. But using a slow cooker doesn't mean you have to be limited to a liquified dinner. Many moms are thinking outside the box — or rather, inside the bun — and using their Crock-Pot to create quick and tasty sandwiches. Check out our favorites and try whipping up one of your own!
