Did you grow up in a Crock-Pot® house? Or do you use the classic timesaver in your own kitchen now? I love to use mine and find it a must have in my kitchen. Especially to make things like this slow cooked salisbury steak. In fact, I currently own 4 full sized and 2 mini sized versions.
Well, Crock-Pot® has a new NFL Crock-Pot® Slow Cookers series, which lets you choose from all 32 of your favorite NFL teams. Plus, in early November they launched the Crock-Pot® Create-A-Crock™, which lets you upload family photos and other images to your own, personalized slow cooker.
I recently went online and placed an order for the Crock-Pot® Create-A-Crock™ provided to me by Crock-Pot®. It should be arriving any day and I can’t wait to see it. The option of adding your own personal photos to your Crock-Pot® is a fun idea and would make a unique gift. However, you don’t even have to add photos if you don’t want to. I chose not to add photos to mine and just loved the idea of choosing a fun design. I picked a purple gingham design. It was hard to choose because there are so many fun designs!
You also get to pick the size and design of the Crock-Pot®. There are 5 to choose from. I picked the 5.5 qt with the pre-set temperature settings. The great thing about this one is when pre-selected cooking time is complete, this slow cooker will automatically shift to the “Warm” setting. So not need to stress if you are not home and running late. Dinner is warm and waiting for you when you arrive.
Two of the Crock-Pots® I own have the black inserts so I elected to get one this time with a white insert. Plus, I thought it look best with the design I choose. I really did have fun decided on the entire design of my Crock-Pot®.
The folks at Crock-Pot® are providing a Crock-Pot® for 1 lucky RMK reader to create along with a Crock-Pot® calendar cookbook, three Crock-Pot® seasoning mixes and a Crock-Pot® slotted spoon.
To enter, just leave me a comment on how you would design you Crock-Pot®. Would you include photos or just pick a fun design? You you pick a NFL Crock-Pot®? If so what team would you pick? You have until Thursday Dec 6 at midnight (MST) to enter. Winner of the giveaway will be announced in this post after the deadline.
Contest is now closed. Winner is announced at the bottom of this post.
I also have created a easy recipe to make in your Crock-Pot®. It is a simple salisbury steak. If you want you could also cook the masked potatoes to go along with this dish in your Crock-Pot®! See, this is why you need more than one Crock-Pot®.
My family loved this comforting slow cooked salisbury steak. I mean you can’t go wrong in my house with meat and potatoes. I also made sure there was plenty of gravy to eat with those potatoes too! You could even get this already the night before and place the insert in the fridge. Then just place it in the Crock-Pot® in the morning and you are all set for dinner that night.

That was fun! Spent too much time on choosing pictures to go on my new Crock Pot, but when I win it will be easy to do.
Thanks for the contest.
I would pick a cute design, but my daughter would want me to get one with the packers on it.
I would design it with my mom’s favorite pictures and give it to her.
Thanks for the giveaway…my design would be utilitarian & cook friendly: common measurement & conversion charts for cooking would adorn the outside…and an Arizona State University Football logo !
I’d pick the black damask design. I don’t think I’d put photos on it.

I’m all about FUN designs!! 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity!

i would go with a fun design instead of the pictures
I would love to have one with pink polka dots!
I would choose a cute design
It would be pretty with grapes/Tuscany style or a yellow gingham would be bright and pretty!

I would get a NFL Kc chiefs one
I would design my crockpot with a family photo collage! Thanks! 🙂
I would pick either the chef-checkered or the yellow gingham with no pictures! Love this idea.
I would choose one with a cute design.
I like the 5 qt smart pot one. The gingham one is cute!!
Ok, ths might be weird… But I would do a farm scene with a red and white barn, green grass, guernsey or jersey cow, some buff orpington hens and A roo, a couple goats and a garden patch.. Oh and a few fruit trees.
On another I would make it look like granny wear, ya know, the enameled stuff.
On another I would do a red check…
On another I would do the WSU (Washington state university) logo.. A couple of them.
I currently have (2) 5 qts, (1) 3.5 or 4 qt and a 2qt. I use all of the all the time. Sometimes all of them at once! I love my crocks! And I want more..

I desperately need a new crock pot! I’ve had mine since my first college apartment!!! I’d pick one with a more updated design since mine is screaming 1990 something 😉
I would choose the LA Rams. That could possibly encourage my die hard Rams fan husband to cook more ofter!!
I love to use a crockpot. If I am chosen, I would choose a fun design, because I think it would be odd to have the faces of my family on my crockpot. I’ll leave their pictures on my walls, and put a really cook design on my crock!
BTW, love those refried beans! I’m making them again for a Mexican potluck on Saturday. They are so good!
I would choose a fun design and put our last name on the crockpot. That way when we take it to church functions, we’ll always know we’re taking our own crock home!
I would have to pick a Vikings crockpot, I think! If the switch to warm feature is not available on that one, I would design my own. I would probably put a picture of my daughter on there, but I might have to wait until January so I can put a picture of our new baby on there, too.
I would have to go with the Dallas Cowboys.
I would love to choose the design of my crock pot, I would just pick a design, not photos or anything. What a fun concept.
I would put some pics of the kiddos so that we can always have their cute smiles as a reminder of the good things when we use it. I would also choose some fun, bright colors for it.
Huh, not sure if my entry went. I would design a crockpot with my family’s photo and then their favorite recipe on it. My old crockpot just died and my hubby doesn’t think a woman needs more than one crockpot….i know….little does he know, so I don’t think I will be getting one from him for Christmas….:o)
If I could design my own crockpot, I’d have one with random photos of my family and include their favorite recipe on the crockpot. I am in need of a larger crockpot. My old one just died and my hubby thinks that a woman shouldn’t have more than one crockpot….I know….little does he know…So, I doubt I will be getting one for Christmas…..:o)
I would pick the Damask-Black design with a black insert.
I have a slow cooker but not a crock pot which I would really like.
The slow cooker works fine but I think the crock would work so much better. The design I would pick a NFL Crockpot, with the team Green Bay Packers, seeing I am from Wisconsin. GO PACK.
If not available just a fun design, maybe something with cats, as I am a cat lover. Thanks. Your recipes are all amazing and I have tried several of them.
I would pick a fun design! And I need a new one, my old crockpot is broken, yikes.
Oh man, that’s a hard one! I think I would love a real funky designed crockpot that was like bright yellow with red flames. Anything fun!
I love my slow cooker (unfortunately not a Crock-Pot), but my handle just broke, so I’d love a new one! I think I’d put photos of my twin boys helping me in the kitchen on it, with a pretty design.
I like a Crock Pot! It would be hard to choose because there are so many great designs. I like the idea of customization, so I would go for it and add my photos to my Crock Pot. Thanks.
This would be a very difficult decision….. I think I would choose to have a fun design of some sort using my favorite color…. Purple!! 🙂
I would probably add photos of my children growing up and helping me in the kitchen. Then give it to my daughter who is looking for a place of her own.
I might go with purple and pictures of my dogs 🙂
I’d love to include photos as a gift for my mom!

I would probably pick a fun design, but adding pictures could be fun too. Decisions, decisions.
I like football and all but family means more. So, I would LOVE to have one designed with special family moments.

Honestly, there are so many options with this, I’d have to have more than one.. maybe one in each size??? 🙂
I would LOVE LOVE an NFL design! That would make football gatherings even more fun!
