Crockpot Recipes

These are the slow-cooker recipes I make on busy days when I know dinner needs to happen, but I won’t get home till late. I can get it going before I go to work and come back to a meal that’s ready to feed my family.

Easy Slow Cooker Soups

Soup is one of my favorite things to make in the slow cooker because everything cooks while I’m gone and anything I need to add is done when I’m home, about 20 minutes before serving.

Tacos from the Crockpot

Some of my favorite recipes from The Taco Tuesday Cookbook are made in the slow cooker. The meat cooks on low and slow all day, and all that’s left at dinner is grabbing the tortillas and toppings.

Slow Cooker Meal Prep

Put the slow cooker to work before you actually need dinner. These recipes help you cook main ingredients ahead so there's less to do when a busy night rolls around.
