Crockpots and appliances like Instapots and air fryers can dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to make nutritious and delicious meals for your family. Using your crockpot can turn dinnertime into a stressless and peaceful time to connect with your family and enjoy a great meal.
Here are some easy ways to use your crockpot to make dinnertime easier than ever.
Make one-pot dinners with ease- Crockpots are an amazing and efficient way to make one-pot dinners. You can assemble ingredients altogether in the morning and come home to the aroma of a hearty meal when you need it most. Try these one-pot meal ideas for an easy weekday dinner:

Make soups that last a week- You can easily make a batch of soup… or two, that will last your family all week or be perfect for a large group. Prepping soup in the morning doesn’t require much and if you plan ahead you can pre-chop any veggies or brown any meats ahead of time making things even easier. Here are some hearty soups you’ll love for your crockpot:
- Crockpot chicken corn chowder

Cook meat that you can use for multiple dinners- One of the benefits of a crockpot is being able to cook large portions that can be used over time. It’s really easy to cook whole roasts, chicken, or ham that can be used for a variety of meals throughout the week or freeze to use at a later time.
Did you know? Did you know you can use your crockpot to make breakfast too? Try preparing an egg-based casserole or overnight oats in your crockpot and you’ll wake up to a hot and fresh breakfast that is filling and delicious.
Your crockpot could very well be the peacemaker you’ve needed in your home. Using appliances that save time and energy makes it easier to relax and spend time with your family making memories. Use your crockpot all year long to make nutritious time-saving food so you can eat well and enjoy the peace.
