Crock Pot Recipes Adapted From Slow Cooker Recipes
Time to break out that crock pot that has been sitting around, collecting dust in storage for years on end. You know, the one you got for your wedding or housewarming or were handed down from your mom or bought on a whim at a yard sale but never used. We all have one.

You then come home at night to a scratch-made meal and you will be thanking yourself as you pat your full tummy around 8:00pm. Even better — leftovers, anyone? And, um, only one pot to clean. Here are 14 more healthy slow cooker recipes.
So, slow cooker or crock pot? You say ta-may-toe and I say ta-mah-toe — it’s all the same. Here’s the little-known reason why most slow cooker recipes will work in a crock pot.
