InstantPots are fabulous too, but sometimes you just want the meal to cook slowly over a long period of time when you’re not going to be home.

This list includes chili and soups, barbecue, and even a chocolaty dessert.

For most of these recipes, I use a 6 quart Crock Pot. A picture of the one I own with an Amazon affiliate link is included below. Oftentimes, I make double-batches for freezing or taking to gatherings and use an even larger slow cooker, because I have a number of different sizes.
