Beat the Back-to-School Rush: 3 Weeknight-Friendly Slow Cooker Meals

By

From busy school nights to after-school activities and sports, back-to-school season is quickly approaching. But just because the season is ramping up doesn't mean you can’t slow down to enjoy wholesome meals with your favorite people.

These slow cooker meals featuring pasture-raised, grass-fed meats are easy to prepare, delicious, nutritious, and they’ll fill growing bellies. Without further ado, here are three kid-friendly slow cooker recipes to make dinner time more about family and less about fussing.

Sliders

Transform a hearty pot roast into chuck roast sliders little hands will love. Chuck roast is a cut of cattle that lends itself to low and slow cooking, making it an ideal one-pot meal. Simply rest sliced onions at the base, add your seasoned grass-fed and finished grain-free chuck roast, pour in beef bone broth, and leave cooking on low for about six to eight hours. Finally, take flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth shreds and assemble on mini buns topped with cheese.

Soup

Warm up conversations at the dinner table with this pasture raised chicken tortilla soup. With a few ingredients and colorful vegetables, this hearty soup is a family favorite. Simply gather your ingredients, including corn and soy-free chicken, tomatoes, chili peppers, onion, and spices, and add them to the slow cooker. Pour chicken bone broth over it, cover, and cook for about six to eight hours on low. Top your soup with crispy, oven-baked tortilla strips and avocado slices, then enjoy!

 Tacos

Make “Taco Tuesday” a weekly tradition with these grab-and-go shredded chicken tacos. This simple recipe needs only pastured chicken, taco seasoning, and fresh tortillas. Season boneless, skinless chicken breasts, put them in the slow cooker, and cook on low for five or six hours. Then, shred the chicken before serving it on a warm tortilla and adding your favorite toppings. For a refreshing side, opt for guacamole or a tomato-based salsa that’s mild in spice but bursting with the season’s fresh flavors.

With some prep and a few quality ingredients like grass-fed and finished meats, you won't have to worry about answering “What’s for dinner?” anymore.
