5 ingredient Slow Cooker recipes

This is a great slow cooker book. I've purchased 3 of these books for family members. For the novice cook, the recipes in this book are simple and tasty.

Easy!

Most of us use our slow cookers because we are short on time and want to keep it simple. This book does that and all with 5 ingredients or less. A great addition to the busy Mom's cookbook collection.

Best Slow Cooker Book of all

I bought this book after I bought a slow cooker that comes with three different size crock inserts. Every recipe I've tried so far I would rate 4-5 stars. Most ingredients are already in my cupboard or local supermarket. Recipes are fairly true to size and have worked when I have cut them in half. I'm having a lot of fun working my way thru this book.

Simple and Good Recipes

This is a great slow cooker cookbook, ESPECIALLY for "beginner" slow cooker chefs. I always feel free to vary the recipes (using more ingredients, usually) but they give be a good start from which to base a meal. Also, we travel A LOT in our 5th Wheel (RV) and this is the ONLY cookbook I bring... After a long day outside, we return to the RV and our nice crock pot. The recipe ingredients are easy to keep on hand (canned goods, frozen, etc) and so I can meal plan two-weeks worth of travel food from this cookbook without having to go back to a store in the meantime.

The book that saved my marriage...

So our baby gets up every day at 4:30am, and by dinnertime, I'm ready for bed, too tired to stand let alone cook. My husband, while great at cleaning, is lousy at cooking, so I got a crock pot for my birthday. I bought this book because it looked like the recipies were interesting, not just variations on beef stew. WOW, the recipies are amazing in this book! I may never order pizza again. Everything is quick and easy to prepare, all the measurements and cook times are correct, and there are a bunch of different flavors to sample. This cookbook also uses a lot of frozen vegetables in the recipies, which is a must for a busy family. The Mediterrinean Chicken is super yummy, very non-traditional for a crock pot. The Original Beef stew is so good my husband practically licked the bowl, and the Cola Pot Roast is fun to make and delicious to eat. People think I'm crazy to use my crock pot so much, and then they taste the food, and all of the suddent they're dragging out their crock pots and using this cookbook as well. By the way, many of the roast recipies ask you to brown the meat. It's super fast and easy, and definitely worth the trouble.
