You find yourself standing at the freezer trying to figure out what you can make that won’t take a whole lot of energy. That’s where a few amazing easy slow cooker recipes can come in handy. Not only are they usually super easy to throw together, but they’re also set it and forget it!
Quick and Easy Slow Cooker Recipes
I am a huge fan of my slow cooker and these slow cooker recipes are my absolute favorites! They are tried and true from my own personal recipe files and tested with my own family. Even the kids love them! I’m sure once you add them to your menu plan that your family will love them as much as we do. If you don’t currently have a menu plan, hop on over and learn how to create a menu plan before you go shopping next. Having a menu plan can save you hundreds on groceries each year and reduce the amount of wasted food and money that your family has.
If you have moved from using a dedicated slow cooker to using an Instant pot, these slow cooker recipes will also work in it as long as it has a slow cook option. Don’t attempt to pressure cook them without adjusting them, however, you can use the slow cook option just as you would with a regular slow cooker.
