I notice I use my slow cooker more often in the colder months. There’s nothing like the scent of a delicious meal simmering all day long and making the house smell so good! I normally make soups and stews in the slow cooker, but there’s a million other ways you can cook with it. In honour of January being National Slow Cooker month, I’ve rounded up 121 easy slow cooker recipes that I’d love to make. A few of them are my recipes, but the majority of them come from my blogger friends. You’ll be able to serve up many yummy meals for your family with these recipes and never run short of ways to use your slow cooker. Mine’s a permanent fixture on my counter top. How about you?
