It’s that time of year where you’re busy with kids activities, and meal making time is at a premium. You can’t bear another night of take out, but you can’t think of anything to make. That’s where these 25 delicious and easy slow cooker recipes come in.
Simply get them ready the night before, turn on the slow cooker (or as we call them up north crockpot) and get ready to come home to a delicious home cooked meal ready to go.
If you have never used that slow cooker (you know the one Jim and Susan got you one as a wedding gift years ago), you are in for a treat.
This device is what a lot of families call “the lifesaver“. It’s a great way to get your kids fed quickly when you get home
This gives you the opportunity to create delicious food, that is healthy and warm. Best of all you can prep these meals in advance and freeze them in separate ziploc bags, so the night before you just pull one out. Put it in the slow cooker and you are ready to come home to a nice warm meal.
It’s a lot more affordable than ordering take out as you shuttle the family around to their evening activities.
Plus the extras make a tasty and enviable lunch the next day at work, that will make your co-workers always ask “What is that awesome smell!”
Here are 25 New and Easy Slow Cooker Recipes for you to try. Even if you don’t have a slow cooker (you can get one here), take a look at these ideas and be inspired by what you can make quickly for your family.
