Slow Cooker Tips
- Cut food into even pieces so that they cook evenly at the same time.
- Always cook covered.
- Season well! The longer cooking times of the slow cooker can diminish the flavor of herbs and spices.
- If you have time brown meats first. Brown is a flavor and not a color when cooking!
- Don’t use too much liquid. Most slow cooker recipes call for 50 percent less liquid than regular recipes (except of soups and sauces).
Slow Cooker Recipes
Here are some of my family’s favorite slow cooker recipes.
Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes. We love being able to have delicious baked potatoes even in the summer when I don’t want to turn on our oven. Set out a few toppings for a baked potato bar and you have a fun interactive meal!
Crock Pot Lasagna is another crowd pleaser and it is easy to throw together!
Buffalo Chicken sandwiches are probably the easiest Crock-Pot recipe out there and they never disappoint. I am gluten free so I make a buffalo chicken lettuce wrap.
Crock Pot Candy is probably the craziest thing we make in the slow cooker! Candy!?! Yes, we make delicious peanut clusters in our Crock-Pot!
Chex Mix can even be made in the crockpot!

So sorry that nothing can be printed off this website. I spend way to much time hand printing many wonderful articles like yours. But most the time it is too time consuming. I don’t know how it do a lot on computer so don’t know how to print an article another way. SO SAD BLOGLOVIN chooses to do this to people who aren’t good on computer.
