They do all the work and give you all the credit with their saucy warming suppers. A great make-ahead tool is a slow cooker, or crock-pot. It can be used during the week or on the weekend to make soups, sauces or braised meats. Recipes made for slow cookers take anywhere from 2 to 10 hours to cook, so be sure to pick a recipe that fits your schedule that day. You’ll be rewarded with a lovely meal that took little time to prepare. It will prevent that quick stop to the drive thru on your way home from work..knowing you will have a magnificent smelling house to come home to makes that hamburger or beef taco mediocre at best. Slow-cooked dishes are ideal for making ahead and reheating, and leftovers can be enjoyed for several days. AND, a slow cooker provides advantages for healthy cooking by stretching small amounts of meat with flavorful sauces.
