A Few of Our Favorite Slow Cooker Recipes

September is here, which means it's that time of year where we experience winter at 5 am, spring starts at 10 am, summer arrives around 2 pm, and fall scoots in around 5 to finish the day. We're not always sure how to best dress for the weather, but we're certain that it's time for crock-pots! From tailgating parties on the weekend to full family dinners throughout the week, this classic kitchen appliance is a secret weapon, churning out fantastic meals with little input. Here are a few of our favorite recipes for the crock-pot. Some of them may be prepared low and slow in the oven but you can always enlist a crock-pot to make the most of a "set it and forget it" method. Enjoy!

1) Giada De Laurentiis Osso Bucco - use a crock-pot and our Osso Bucco or Short Rib cuts

2) 5 Ingredient Pork Roast and Potatoes - you don't have to "over season" when you use high quality meat

3) Slow Cooker Brisket - we love having leftovers for a brisket taco night

4) Sausage and Peppers - choose hot or sweet, then add rolls and cheese or throw them over a grain (pasta or quinoa)

5) Honey Garlic Chicken -  can do with breasts, thighs, or legs pick your favorite

6) Slow Cooker Crispy "Rotisserie" Chicken - best when done with a whole pastured chicken
