    50 Slow Cooker Recipes That Are Bound To Impress

    The reliable slow cooker is one of the most versatile tools in any kitchen. A pot that cooks your food while you go about your day is the perfect solution to the time crunch we often face (who has time to cook a meal from scratch when you've got meetings, projects, and family activities to take care of?).In this article, I'll share 50 recipes perfect for your trusty crock-pot for busy folks. Each recipe can be set and completely forgotten until lunch or dinner.

    Between 2008 and 2016, slow cooker sales increased by a stunning 65% as the universality of these electric cookers became known. From soups and stews to bread, slow cookers are the ultimate in set-it-and-forget-it, bringing us a host of meals with very little effort.

    Stacker compiled a list of slow cooker recipes from Allrecipes. Many of these can be left to cook overnight or throughout the day so they're ready for serving when you are, with practically no prepping involved. Keep reading for simple sandwich fillings, rethought mac and cheese, pot roast, and so much more.
