If you’re looking for ways to make dinner easier, then consider your slow cooker. Dinner time is often a hurried and dreaded time of day because finding new ways to create tasty and easy meals gets harder all of the time. You can even make delicious crock pot casserole recipes that are just as good and even easier than the traditional casserole recipe.

Everyone is familiar with casseroles and know how great they are for family meals, work parties or church potluck dinners. There is a casserole recipe for just about any type of dish, and your slow cooker makes it even better because you don’t have to do anything except prep the ingredients and put them in the pot. You can choose from a variety of recipes from yummy beef and potato casseroles to pasta or vegetable side dish casserole recipes.

One dish cooking is a favorite whether from a slowcooker or a skillet, and casseroles fit the bill completely. Most casserole recipes can be the main dish and side at the same time; all you need to do is add another vegetable or a delicious green salad and crusty bread and you’re set. Dinner will be done and you didn’t have to spend too much time in the kitchen after work. Your family will adore these recipes, even picky eaters who have a tendency to turn their noses up to new foods.
