Slow Cooker

I prepare a lot of slow cooker recipes, and for good reason. They are easy, hearty, and are perfect for busy nights!

Crock pot meals save me so much time during the week when I have a hectic schedule. You can prep your meal within minutes, turn on the slow cooker and a few hours later, dinner is served! Enjoy family favorites like slow cooker beef stew, or traditional dishes like slow cooker chicken cacciatore.

With recipes like slow cooker chicken tacos, pulled pork and beef brisket, you will get the most tender, juicy and delicious results, every time. But dinner isn’t the only thing the slow cooker can accomplish!

During the holidays, the crock pot can be used to make slow cooker apple cider and even slow cooker hot chocolate. Free up oven space with side dishes like crock pot mashed potatoes and crock pot baked beans.

No matter what you choose to make, the best part is the slow cooker does all the work!
