This article comes from Woman's Day Magazine and I thought it gave some pretty good advice.
Do spray the inside of the crock with a nonstick cooking spray before every recipe to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier.
Do cut root vegetables into small cubes no larger than 1-inch squares to ensure they cook in about the same amount of time as the meat.

Winter is right around the corner and the temperatures are definitely starting to drop where I live. My husband is thrilled and I have to admit that I like the chill in the air, if for no other reason that because it's not ridiculously hot and humid outside anymore.
But, winter means time for winter dishes made in the crockpot - and to me, that's beef stew.
