Preparing food for a large group of people is no easy feat. More ingredients will be used which means more time is needed for preparation and cooking. However, if you own a crock pot, cooking will be much easier whether you're cooking for a crowd or not. All you have to do is prepare the ingredients, throw them into the pot and wait for the dish to cook - you'll have more time to prepare other dishes!
