Almost ten years ago, I got rid of my slow cooker in favor of an Instant Pot. And [it worked well for me](… until these last few weeks. I was making and testing this week’s [Slow Cooker Texas Style Chili](=) and I just couldn’t get it right in the Instant Pot. So, I actually went out and bought a BRAND NEW SLOW COOKER from Target to give it a try. And my goodness, it was slow-cooked perfection. All that to say: I think I’m in love with slow cookers again. This is my slow cooker renaissance and I’m here for it! P.S. [This is the slow cooker that I bought]( - what a cutie! --------------------------------------------------------------- #1: Slow Cooker Texas Style Chili = This shredded beef Texas chili is rich and hearty, made with 8 simple ingredients! Just saucy chunks of tender beef that shreds apart with the lightest pull of a fork. YUM. ​[Click here for the recipe!](=)​ --------------------------------------------------------------- #2: Crockpot Chicken Gnocchi Soup =​ This Crockpot Chicken Gnocchi Soup is luscious, comforting, and made with lots of vegetables. Perfect with crusty bread and a green salad. ​[Click here for the recipe!](=)​ --------------------------------------------------------------- #3: Slow Cooker Beef Ragu =​ I love this recipe! Steak is braised in the crockpot for hours with garlic, tomatoes, veggies, and herbs, then shredded and piled high on pappardelle with Parm cheese and a dollop of ricotta. ​[Click here for the recipe!](=)​ --------------------------------------------------------------- #4: Easy Crockpot Carnitas �€‹ These are the easiest crockpot carnitas and simple enough for anyone to make! Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly browned with a crispy crust. ​[Click here for the recipe!](​ --------------------------------------------------------------- #5: Quick and Easy Lentil Quesadillas ​ Beautiful, yummy, vegetarian… QUESADILLAS! Crispy golden brown tortillas wrapped around melted pepperjack cheese and a spicy lentil and brown rice filling (that's made in the slow cooker!). ​[Click here for the recipe!]()​ --------------------------------------------------------------- #6: Everything Greek Pork Pitas ​ Peppery pork with tzatziki, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and lemon juice - all wrapped up in pillowy naan or pita bread! ​[Click here for the recipe!]()​ --------------------------------------------------------------- #7: Slow Cooker Creole Chicken and Sausage �€‹ This pot of goodness takes just 10 minutes to prep, and is packed with lots of protein and delicious flavors. One of my favorites! ​[Click here for the recipe!](​ --------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- What You're Loving This Week Just so you don’t think it’s ONLY us gushing on and on about delicious things… =​ "This is one of our favorite meals, there is kind of a lot of elements, but it still comes together quick and the layers of flavor are worth every step, we like to add diced tomatoes with the cucumber and onions on top, so fresh and yummy…not sure where I got that from, but I highly recommend the add. Overall amazing recipe! Thank you!" - Kimberly on [Sheet Pan Chicken Pitas](=)​ =​ "I was a little concerned it would be soup but I followed the directions and let it rest for over and hour and it was literally the best lasagna I have had and so fresh. I usually do frozen, but this was so easy. Minimal prep (just cutting spinach). Crockpots have made my Mondays so much easier and this recipe is a keeper. Thank you again." - Sunny on [Super Easy Crockpot Lasagna](=)​ ​ "I made this light night for dinner and my girls RAVED about it. 1x the recipe made enough for two meals for our family of four, when coupled with grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. I’ll be making this in bulk and freezing it for an easy hit on busy nights!" - Jess on [5 Ingredient Tomato Soup]()​ =​ "Made this last night. It was wonderful! I could not believe how great this tasted for how little work there was to it. I was lazy and ended up using Pillsbury biscuits in a can instead of making my own biscuits. It was a hit with everyone and will 100% be part of the meal rotation. Love!" - MS on [Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits](=)​ --------------------------------------------------------------- All the easy, hands-off meals this week! I hope it's delicious. ❤️ - Lindsay Keep exploring! [Find your next favorite recipe here.]()​ Want to mix it up or make it vegetarian?
