At A Weekend Cook, I develop, rework, and test small batch recipes designed for the small slow cooker. Each recipe is tested and perfectly portioned for one hearty appetite or two lighter ones. I created a collection of favorite slow cooker recipes that you will come back to over and over again. Check back often because I’m adding new recipes all the time.
Why these recipes work
