You’ve heard it from me before and you’ll hear it again … I love my slow cooker. It has a permanent place on my kitchen counter. When I don’t feel like cooking, it saves my day. A Crock Pot makes preparing family meals a breeze.<\/p>\n

“Quick and fast to throw together” is how Sylvia Bourque<\/a> describes her Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings Recipe<\/a>. Your family is going to love this easy comfort food dinner.<\/p>\n

Shredded chicken picks up the flavors of the warm, buttery sauce. The carrots cook in the sauce and are super tender.<\/p>\n

Homestyle canned biscuits are shortcut dumplings. When combined with the fluffy biscuit, tender chicken, and veggies with the buttery sauce is a delicious bite.<\/p>\n

Nicole Darty’s<\/a> (Redmond, WA)<\/a> Crock Pot Rosemary Cornish Game Hen<\/a> is a terrific special occasion dinner. But, thanks to the slow cooker you could really make it any time.<\/p>\n

“This recipe came about as an easy dinner for me to throw together when I am home on my lunch break,” shares Nicole. “It has quickly become one of our favorite dinners.”<\/p>\n

If you’re not familiar with Cornish hens or think you don’t like hens, basically, it’s a fancy way to say a small chicken. According to the USDA<\/a>, they’re an immature chicken less than five weeks old and two pounds or less.<\/p>\n

This recipe makes the Cornish hens tender. I liked the savory spices, but adjust the garlic and rosemary to your liking.<\/p>\n

Need a super easy dinner? Try Tim Russell’s<\/a> (Gloucester City, NJ<\/a>) Crock Pot Ranch Pork Chops<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The pork chops come out very tender and the flavor is amazing,” thinks Tim. “You also get a good gravy for mashed potatoes.”<\/p>\n

Made with only 3 ingredients, it’s a set it and forget it recipe. After cooking in the slow cooker, the pork chops are fall-apart tender. The gravy becomes thick and delicious. Serve with rice or mashed potatoes for a comforting meal.<\/p>\n

Need a new Sunday roast recipe? Take a look at Jackie Messina’s<\/a> (Chardon, OH<\/a>) Crock Pot Beef Roast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“This is a delicious and very easy roast to make,” reveals Jackie. “My family and I love it. The juice is really good on the meat and on the potatoes.”<\/p>\n

Dump everything into the Crock Pot, walk away for a few hours, and dinner practically cooks itself.<\/p>\n

The meat can be cut with a fork. Serve over a dollop of mashed potatoes, with the juices poured over, for a delicious Sunday meal.<\/p>\n

I love Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches. Lana Bade<\/a> shared her Family Crock Pot Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches<\/a> and I’m a big fan of them.<\/p>\n

“You will be making these often when you see how easy and delicious this one is,” says Lana. “I get tons of compliments on this recipe, so will you!”<\/p>\n

While this simmers in the slow cooker, your house will smell amazing. The beef becomes super tender. Mixed with broth, onions, and peppers, the meat is very flavorful.<\/p>\n

Toast the French bread, top with the beef, melt Provolone cheese, and you have an easy-to-make, super tasty sandwich.<\/p>\n

From beef to chicken and pork, any main meal can be prepared in the Crock Pot. Want more Crock Pot recipes? Check out the Crock Pot recipe collection<\/a>. We’re always adding new recipes to it. Happy Pinching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
