5 Slow Cooker Meals to Feed a Family

We don’t know about you, but our slow cooker has been life-changing for our family meals! When you throw in almost anything and let it simmer for the day, you expect it to come out tender, juicy and delicious, which makes meal prep in our home a breeze!

The slow cooker packs a ton of flavour into the meat, while keeping the texture butter and fats caramelized. Add in some fresh garden veggies, sourced from surrounding local farms and available at our shop, and there you have it, a complete meal made in one pot – the best!

Here are five of our favourite affordable, hassle-free slow cooker meals that feed many mouths and are bound to warm your soul and fill your tummy. It’s how culinary style eats mixed with comfort food is done right!

Pan-Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Bourbon-Soaked Figs

BBQ Pulled Pork

A slow cooker classic and a dinnertime favourite in our household. This recipe is best made with the recommended homemade BBQ sauce, but your favourite grocery store brand will also due if time is an issue. Add some slaw and make into a sandwich or a trick we love is to fill a taco shell with the same ingredients to switch it up the second night.

Chicken Thighs

Throw in your meat, homemade sauce, and any vegetables you fancy and let it sit for 6 hours. Serve with fresh lime to bring out the flavours and rice or quinoa for some healthy and filling carbs.
