Crockpot meals are the best “set it and forget it” type of meals. They require minimal prep and ingredients, but when done right, come out just as flavorful and delicious as something that took hours to prepare. There are many different kinds of crockpot meals, and it’s not limited to just dinner.
Some tried and true recipes include chili, chicken and dumplings, even meatballs. All you need to do is add all of the ingredients to the pot and turn it on. There are recipes that don’t even take all day to cook, just a few hours. This is ideal if you’ve got a busy day ahead, and aren’t sure if you are going to have time to cook for your family. The night before, you can set your crock pot with one of the many varieties of breakfast casserole to be ready when you wake up in the morning. It is one of the most useful appliances when you’re pressed for time.
