Dump-and-Go Crockpot Recipes
When writing our second cookbook, From Freezer to Cooker, we learned that our people LOVE them some "dump-and-go" recipes for the slow cooker.
While this type of meal can sometimes turn out tasting "meh", the crockpot recipes we're featuring below are both easy AND have great flavor and texture. Pinky swear!
Greek Pitas with Pulled Pork
Both picky and adventurous eaters will go for this Mediterranean spin on pulled pork. Serve the shredded pork on warm pita bread topped with fresh veggies, feta cheese, and our Easy Tzatziki Sauce.
Honey Bourbon Chicken
A little sweet and a little spicy, this easy chicken recipe is BIG on flavor and takes just minutes to throw in the slow cooker. Stir fry some veggies while it cooks and then serve it all over our rice.
French Dip Sandwiches
This roast slow cooks all day long in flavorful juices and is fall-apart tender by dinnertime. Simply shred the meat, place on a toasted ciabatta roll with cheese, and dip in the leftover au jus.
Crockpot Baby Back Ribs
You don’t need a smoker to make amazing ribs. Your slow cooker and a few minutes under the broiler will do all the hard work for you, resulting in fall-off-the-bone, caramelized BBQ ribs.
Chicken Parmesan Sliders
These tasty sliders are kid-friendly and just couldn't be easier! A great one to have in your back pocket for busy nights.
