crockpot recipes

Set-and-forget meals

Crockpot recipes are dishes designed for slow cookers, the countertop appliances that cook food at low temperatures over several hours.

The term reflects how "Crock-Pot," originally a brand name, became generic for all slow cookers.

These recipes typically involve minimal preparation—ingredients go in the pot in the morning and dinner is ready by evening: I'm always looking for crockpot recipes I can set and forget.
