Just realized my slow cooker is the real weeknight hero
Last Thursday I was staring at a pack of chicken thighs at 7 PM, totally wiped from a long day. I had to pick between trying a new 30-minute skillet recipe from a blog or just throwing stuff in my slow cooker before I left for work. I went with the slow cooker. I tossed in the chicken, a jar of salsa, a can of black beans, and a chopped onion on low before I left at 8 AM. When I got home, the whole house smelled amazing. The chicken just fell apart with a fork. We had it on tortillas with some shredded cheese and sour cream. It took maybe 5 minutes of actual work in the morning and dinner was ready the second we walked in. Has anyone else found a set-it-and-forget-it slow cooker combo that works every single time?
