5 Favorite Slow Cooker Recipes
We love the slow cooker. You turn it on in the morning, it does all the work, and in the evening you have a delicious meal. Whether your dish stays in it for an hour longer or shorter usually doesn’t make much difference. Convenience all around. These are our favorite recipes from this wonderful machine.
Italian meatballs the American way
You prepare them with a beef-and-pork mixture, garlic, Parmesan and tomato sauce. Put all these ingredients in the slow cooker and you have a true recipe for success.
Duck with Provençal herbs
This duck recipe has it all: lots of herbs, tender meat and even a crispy bite. Another advantage: you can prepare it whenever you like. Make it two days in advance or on the day itself.
Super-juicy turkey breast
Just like the duck recipe above, you briefly roast the turkey under the broiler. This creates a crispy, golden skin. Try this dish with chicken breast instead of turkey, too.
Side dish: honey glazed carrots
Serve your tender pieces of meat with these honey-roasted carrots. You can make them in the oven, but they’re just as delicious from the slow cooker. Another advantage is that your oven remains free for other dishes.
Creamy mushroom soup
First, roast the mushrooms in the oven, then let them infuse in cream in the slow cooker for hours. The thyme and lemon bring out the earthy flavor of the mushrooms even more.
