Introduction

Dear reader, I don’t know what your life is like, but I do know that if you work during the day you’re probably not all that interested in slow cooker recipes that require less than eight hours of cooking time or some sort of intermediate attention during the cooking process. You’re probably not going to need a bunch of slow cooker recipes for shellfish, or desserts, or side dishes, either.

What you need, I’m guessing, are recipes for slow cooker main dishes that can cook completely unattended for at least as long as the typical workday, that are delicious and family-pleasing but also interesting and varied. And you probably wouldn’t mind some easy, streamlined accompaniments and suggestions for rounding out each meal. You probably want dinners to come home to.
