Celebrate National Slow Cooker Month

Survival Chicken Tacos:  These family-friendly tacos feature shredded chicken and assorted peppers. Mixing up a quick sauce containing tomatoes, smokey chilies and an array of spices takes all but a few moments and it can be refrigerated overnight. 

The Ultimate Reuben Sandwich: You can serve half of this roast for dinner and refrigerate the rest for use in these indulgent sandwiches or you can make the meat for the sandwiches alone.

French-Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwiches: Don't shy away from the fish sauce in this recipe. The sauce brings big and bold umami flavor to this memorable sandwich.

Double Duty German Dinner:  Braising red cabbage on a Sunday while slow cooking a pork shoulder roast makes plating up a traditional German dinner a breeze. 

Cheater’s Crock Pot Carnitas: Simply slap the meat in your slow cooker in the morning and let it simmer low and slow all day.  The divine perfume of oranges, limes, cinnamon and onion will greet you when you return home and the tender pork will fall off the bone and shred with ease. 

Indian Spiced Chicken and Cauliflower: Make sure to leave the potatoes and cauliflower in sizable chunks to ensure the hold up under the long cook time. 

Easy French Dip Sandwiches: Using a retro crock pot to make these sandwiches for your family table will make getting together dinner a snap! Dried mushrooms add tremendous flavor to these sandwiches

Sitcom-mom inspired pot roast sandwiches: It takes no more than a few minutes to toss these simple ingredients into a slow cooker and mixing up the no cook sauce is a breeze. After cooking long and low all day long, your home will smell like June Cleaver has been hard at work in your kitchen making a pot roast dinner worthy of serving any night of the week.
