Grandma would approve of these guilt-free recipes.
Comfort foods are the meals that warm our stomachs and hearts. The problem with many comfort food recipes is that they’re often full of fat, calories, salt, or added sugar. The beauty of the crockpot is that it allows flavors to blend and shine without the added junk that pads thighs, raises blood pressure, and increases bad cholesterol levels. Many slow cooker recipes use lean cuts of meat and flavorful herbs to deliver the taste you want without the guilt.
Crockpot comfort foods are convenient. Some simply require you to add ingredients to the pot, while others require a few additional steps. Either way, you get to serve a healthy meal without sweating over the stove all afternoon. The food will be ready when you are. One of the world’s best scents is that of a ready-to-go meal when you walk in the door in the evening. Check out our 21 Crockpot Comfort Food Recipes that won’t wreck your waistline.
