Recipe Notes

Check out my full list of Crock Pot Recipes along with these easy tips for helping you prepare meals using your slow cooker:

Plan Ahead - read through the list below and make a list of the dishes you want to prepare. This will help you save time on the day of the event.

Make Cleanup Easy - if you want to make your crock pot cleanup quick and easy, use disposable liners! Not only do they stop food from sticking to your pot, but they make cleanup a breeze.

Cook the Food Slow - Prevent the food from drying out or even burning by cooking the food slow.

Top Tip

If you’re serving multiple crock pot dishes, label each one so your guests know what they’re eating. This will help avoid confusion and ensure that everyone gets to try all of the different dishes.

Can you prep crock pot night before and put in fridge?

Store the meat separately from the other ingredients, and then in the morning toss everything together in the crock pot cover it and keep it in the fridge overnight.

Can you leave raw chicken in slow cooker overnight?

Leaving raw chicken in the slow cooker overnight can increase the risk of bacterial growth and foodborne illness. To be safe, it is best to cook chicken in the slow cooker during the day when you are able to monitor it and ensure that it is cooked properly.
