It's time for more crockpot recipes! As summer beings to wind down, we all start thinking about eating heartier foods. And the slow cooker is the ideal appliance for making sure your family eats a nutritious, healthy dinner with little effort; and it doesn't heat up your kitchen. I browsed through my crockpot recipe collection and chose those recipes that provide the greatest amount of nutrition per serving. All you need to add to these recipes is a glass of milk and some crunchy breadsticks for a complete meal. What could be easier than that?

Most of these slow cooker recipes can easily be altered to your family's tastes. You can change the amounts and types of vegetables, meats and seasonings. Make sure you pay attention to layering instructions, as foods like vegetables cook more slowly and should be on the bottom of the slow cooker. Visit Crockpot Lessons for more hints and tips. And share your favorite recipes and family successes in the Busy Cooks Forum.
