Crockpot Dinners To Set and Forget
Some days, the last thing you want to do is stand over a stove. That’s where the slow cooker (or Instant Pot) comes into its own. These crockpot dinners to set and forget are all about big flavours with minimal effort – perfect for busy weekdays or when you just want to come home to something warm and ready.
From rich and hearty dishes like braised steak and onions or Hungarian beef goulash, to comfort food favourites like sausage casserole or chicken stroganoff, these recipes do all the work while you get on with your day. You’ll also find lighter options like potato and leek soup, or bold, warming dishes like lamb curry, beef soup, or Instant Pot lamb shanks.

And if you’re feeding a crowd, you can’t go wrong with chilli con carne or a tray of shredded beef sandwiches. Easy, satisfying and full of flavour – just switch it on and let it cook.
Some of these recipes were originally written for the Instant Pot, as I had just bought one. But you can of course make them in a crockpot as well with the same ingredients, by adjusting the times to suit.
