This Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes category on The Gracious Pantry is an ever growing collection of real-food slow cooker recipes. Let dinner cook itself tonight!

What is so great about a delicious and easy slow cooker recipe? These recipes are easy to follow and make for the perfect dinner, any night of the week. Slow cooker recipes can often be made ahead of time and frozen, making a busy weeknight meal easier than starting from scratch.

These healthy slow cooker recipes range between 3.5 to 10 hours in cooking time. They use only real-food ingredients you can find in any grocery store. Nothing complicated, nothing expensive, nothing hard to find. You won't buy an expensive bottle of something you'll only use one teaspoon of, just to have it sit and rot in the fridge for the next few months. Promise!

So head down to the local produce section of your usual grocery store and stock up! Then head to the butcher counter and you'll have dinner ready to go in no time!
