If you have no time during the week, this is the ultimate list for less than 3 hours slow cooker recipes.
We all have busy schedules during the week and it might get difficult to plan slow cooker recipes.
Keep in mind that the best part of the slow cooker is that you do not need to keep and eye on it while cooking. You arrive home, prepare the recipe on the slow cooker and can go to that pottery course, gym, take kids to swimming lessons… by the time you get back home, dinner is ready.
Of course to be able to do that we need “short or quick” slow cooker recipes, so less that 3 hours recipes are perfect for that.
Let me inspire you with less than 3 hours slow cooker recipes with weekly meals.
