Because somewhere along the way, we decided the slow cooker was only for pot roast and soup.
But it can do SO much more.
Especially when you’re trying to get dinner on the table between school pickup, practices, homework, work, and everything else. 😅
Here are a few slow cooker dinner ideas to add to your rotation:
🥩 Creamy Beef Broth Bowls
Tender shredded beef + broth served over rice or ramen. Top with cucumbers, green onions and chili crisp.
🍗 Chicken Parmesan
Slow-cooked chicken in marinara + melty cheese. Serve over pasta OR pile it onto toasted rolls for easy chicken parm sandwiches.
🤍 Marry Me Chicken
Creamy, savory chicken that can go over pasta, become sliders, or get wrapped up in tortillas.
🌿 Salsa Verde Chicken
One of those dinners you can turn into almost anything—rice bowls, tacos, enchiladas, nachos or burritos.
🍍 Hawaiian Garlic Chicken
Sweet + savory chicken topped with pineapple and served on toasted buns. Add a simple side and dinner is DONE.
The best part?
You can get dinner going HOURS before the 5pm chaos hits.
And when everyone finally walks through the door hungry…
Dinner is already waiting. 🙌🏼
