Easy slow cooker recipes are essential when the time is limited, but you need a healthy and satisfying meal! The great thing about using a Crock-Pot is you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time, set the timer and have your meal ready right when you need it. These ten savory recipes are a breeze, plus I added a bonus snack at the end!

#1) Cauliflower Corn Chowder

This hearty soup makes cauliflower the star of the dish! Each satisfying spoonful is loaded with potatoes, corn, cauliflower, and savory bacon. Swap the bacon with sautéed mushrooms and remove chicken for a vegetarian option.
