Why We Love These Slow Cooker Recipes
Like I said, I’m a big fan of using my slow cooker. Here are a few reasons why you should try these slow cooker recipes the next time you need to make dinner.
- They’re so easy. Recipes don’t get easier than these. For most of these 30 recipes, you simply put the food in the slow cooker, turn it on, walk away, and come back some hours later. What could be more simple than that?
- A perfect cook every time. Unlike some other methods, you don’t really have to worry about under or over cooking meat with a slow cooker. You don’t have to mess with the meat, and by the time dinner is ready, it will be juicy, tender, and melting in your mouth.
- So much flavor. My favorite thing about slow cookers? The amount of flavor you get in your meals. It’s shocking how much more flavor you can get in a soup, or a piece of meat, by cooking it in the slow cooker for 6 or 8 hours.
