The idea of prepping dinner in the morning and letting it cook away all day long is so appealing that I’m always on the lookout for great slow-cooker recipes. The Slow Cook Book by Heather Whinney is a treasure trove of about 200 slow-cooker recipes ranging from stews and casseroles to curries and roasts and even desserts.
And anyone who has ever scooped gray veggies out of their slow cooker (guilty!) will appreciate her chapter on slow-cooker techniques, complete with step-by-step photos and how-tos. And, as a bonus, if you don’t own a slow cooker or you prefer not to use one, each recipe includes a “traditional method” for slow cooking on the stove or in the oven. So start making easy and nourishing, budget-friendly dinners by rediscovering your slow cooker.
Here are a few recipes from The Slow Cook Book to help you get started.
Chicken Jambalaya
Pea, Ham and Potato Soup
Beef Pot Roast
Risotto Primavera
Asian Pork Ribs

Love making Guiness Beef Stew in the crock pot.

I use my slow cooker for everything from roasts to soups and everything in between, but I think my favorite thing to make is yogurt. It tastes great, and it is much cheaper than store bought.
I'd be slow cooking some spicy, lowfat black bean chili with chicken! It is something I make for our annual office chili party day. It is so good!
I love to cook up chicken with salsa and broth to make tender pulled chicken for tacos and burritos
So easy and delicious!
I would love to learn to a slow-cooker risotto!
I have no idea what ai would make. I have a slow cooker but no recipes, thats why I am entering this sweeps.
Nothing beats a bowl of good chili!
I like to slow cook a pork shoulder. It makes delicious pulled pork sandwiches and pork tacos. YUM!
I don't know yet…I just bought my first slow cooker yesterday! Yipeee!
My husband looked at it skeptically and said, "What do you make in that…stew?"
So you see, I could REALLY use this cook book!

Right now I am "experimenting" with a slow cooker I received for Christmas. Cooking beans, lasagna, beef tongue, pork ribs, so much!
My standby crock pot recipe is always beef stroganoff
My "Man's weekend" steak and bean chili with lots of peppers and spices.
