Hey! I think it’s time to dust off the slow cooker… or am I only speaking for myself?! Mine has pride of place on a beautiful butchers block in my kitchen but I honestly haven’t used it all summer long. Which means, I need some slow cooker recipes to get inspired for what to make!
I reached out to my communities (who also contributed to this epic round up of no bake energy ball recipes) and they didn’t let me down. I have a great selection of slow cooker dishes perfect for main meals for the whole family.
If you do make one of the recipes below, the please drop by and leave a comment below as we’d all love to get your feedback and hear your results!
