At least once a week, that feeling washes over me, when I don’t want to cook even a little bit but still want a comforting, home-cooked meal. Enter the slow cooker. The savior of lazy days. The reason I don’t call for takeout more nights. A few minutes of prep time, and eight hours later, I’m digging in. Next time I pull out the slow cooker, I’m making one of these top 10 recipes of the year.
