We’re all very busy people and I think we can agree that coming back from work to an already prepared meal is great. That’s why I love my slow cooker.
Since I often come back from work hungry, I just love to step into the house to find dinner waiting for me in the slow cooker. Since I’m often in a hurry in the morning, I prepare all the ingredients for the recipe the day before and place the slow cooker on the counter, ready to be used. This way, in the morning, the only things left to do is to put everything in and press start. Eight hours later, dinner is magically ready.
Here are a few ideas for simple and delicious slow cooker recipes that are perfect for weeknights (and they aren’t all stews).
