Need some kid friendly crockpot meals? I have so many crock pot recipes that I love, but if I absolutely have to choose my favorites - and that's what this post is all about - then these are my Top 10 BEST EVER crock pot Recipes that my family is always happy to see on the dinner table.
Kid Friendly Crock Pot Meals
We use our crock pot a lot. A whole lot. Food cooked slow and long adds another dimension of flavor and texture to the meal. And our home smells amazing all day.
My crock pot is my most valued kitchen tool, even before the bottle opener. And it makes me look like Super Mom without too much effort from me (the crock pot not the bottle opener :).
Seriously. 10 minutes prep. 2 to 4 hours reading my favorite book (because that's what Stay at Home Moms do right.....) and dinner is ready to be served the moment the family walks through the door.
Not just a regular dinner either, but a slow cooked, deliciously healthy and sometimes ... there's even enough for tomorrows lunch. Not often. But sometimes.
For more inspiration, take a look at my Pinterest Board - Clean Eating Slow Cooker Recipes. All the recipes contain real food ingredients and are kid friendly. Of course.
Clean Eating Crock Pot Recipes
Of course, it goes without saying we eat a Clean diet (most of the time).
One of the reasons I love a Crockpot is because it's just SO effortlessly easy to prepare Real food and end up with a dinner that's not only kid friendly and delicious but needs nothing else added other than what you've chosen to put in the pot.
While I have two, the Crockpot I use all the time is this one. It's big enough to feed all of us and since I'm always thinking about tomorrows lunch, there's room for a bit more too.
If, like me, you have a fussy eater or two, slow cooking like this is a game changer. Leave out the things you know there's obviously going to be a fuss mad about and add in the things you know they'll like.
The flavors develop over the hours the meals cooking and just like magic....you've got yourself a Supermom style healthy dinner even your most picky of eaters seem willing to try.
These easy kid friendly crock pot meals are absolutely worth trying!
