I love making slow cooker recipes, they are so easy for a busy lifestyle.
It frees up so much time for me to do other things while I work or have company coming over.
Slow cookers are perfect for not taking up space in the oven and frees up space on the stovetop for those big family holiday meals.
The other advantage is that is you got invited to dinner, this will stay warm and go perfect with anything they're serving as a side dish.
One-pot throw-it-together set it, and forget meals are always a big hit here, and for me working all crazy hours, I lost track of time.
Don't worry anymore about dinner, we got you covered here and every one of these is fantastic!

The taste and texture of any lesser cut of meat is always on point to be fork-tender and the best made in a slow-cooker.
Even going to old-fashioned diners can't come close to the flavorful meats in these slow cooker meals, you're family will be loving the meals and think you cooked over a hot stove all day!

Made too Much?
The last tip I have for you that I love about slow cookers, I love making too much food!
I usually make a full pot of chili, meats, and stews, and have lots of leftovers, but guess what?
They all freeze well, just freeze your leftovers for another meal.
Remember use your crockpot for all of these meals we tend to make much more than we can eat.
Don't leave it in the refrigerator for days, freeze your slow-cooked meals for later, they are great leftovers to repurpose for another meal.
You can make covered sandwiches with leftover roasts, nachos and burritos with leftover chili and the list go on and on getting creative.
