Slow Cooker Recipes
These are the days that call for a few Slow Cooker Recipes. Almost everywhere, it is cold enough to want something warm and easy, to come home to. You really can fix almost anything in a slow cooker. Another name for a slow cooker is a Crock Pot. There are many versions of crock pots. They come in many sizes and designs. The most practical ones have ceramic liners that are removable. These are easier to clean and are usually dishwasher safe. There are even crock pots for one (1). Most of these recipes are for 4 or 6 people. They can be adjusted for any number. If you want, you can make a recipe that is 2 or 4 times too much and freeze portions to be used later.
