Slow cookers are the best thing since sliced bread. I use mine all year round, but never more than in the fall and winter months. Maybe it’s because fall sports start and dinnertime is the furthest thing from my mind. We’re crazy busy which doesn’t give me much time in the kitchen to put together a hot meal for my family.
Cue the slow cooker. You basically throw some ingredients in a big pot, flip a switch and BOOM: dinner is serves {okay it might not be quite that dramatic, but you get the gist!}.
I’ve decided to list all of my very favorite slow cooker recipes so you have them all in one simple place. Enjoy!

Mavis, you left off my favorite, your chicken and wild rice soup. (I buy the wild rice blend in bulk at Winco!)
I love my crock pot, you’re the one that got me started. Thanks!!
Wynne says
And my favorite, too, your cilantro-lime chicken! Still–thanks for the list.

What box brand could I substitute for WinCo bulk rice blend, Uncle Ben’s? The five minute one or the one that takes 20-30 mins?
Renay says
Don’t forget pulled pork or beef for sandwiches and roast with root veggies – YUM!!!!!

My Wife won a programable crockpot on the net. I am doing my best to try and wear it out. Being retired, I have taken over the cooking in my house. I recommend giving crockpots with receipes as gifts. You will become somebodies hero!
