5 Potluck Dishes You Can Make in a Slow Cooker

Beef—especially the ground variety—is what many party-goers may expect when they see a pot of chili. Surprise them with this lightened-up version, which relies on pork roast. Its mild flavor pairs nicely with tomatoes, fire-roasted green chilies and tomatillos. This recipe, from Kelli and Peter Bronski's new Gluten Free Family Favorites, goes easy on the spice, relying on cumin, oregano and garlic powder for flavor instead of peppery chili or cayenne, so it'll appeal to spicy-food-adverse palates. (You can always offer hot sauce as an accompaniment.)
