slow cooker meal
All-day stew
A slow cooker meal is a dish prepared in a slow cooker—an electric pot that cooks food at low temperatures over several hours.
The format typically involves combining ingredients in the morning and returning to a finished dinner: I prepped a slow cooker meal before work.
Recipes often feature stews, roasts, soups, and braises that benefit from long, gentle cooking.
