Crockpot dinners are just about the easiest way to get a home cooked meal on the table every night of the week. If you’re looking for an easy meal with very little hands on cooking, you should definitely check these Paleo crockpot meals out. All of the recipes included here are Paleo (gluten free, grain free, and refined-sugar free).
They’re all made with simple ingredients without unhealthy oils and free of preservatives. Most are dairy free as well.
Basically…they’re super healthy and I think you should add them to your meal plan, ASAP.
Tools to make your Crock pot meal a success
- Crock Pot – Personally, I use my Instant Pot (two tools in one = less cupboard space used). But any basic slow cooker will do. Try to get one with a timer like this one so it’ll stop automatically when it’s done.
- Tongs – No plastic on this style!
- Trivets – For serving, you can bring the whole crockpot over, or just the insert and set them on one of these trivets. These look nice enough to leave them on your table as part of your decoration!
- Serving platter – Go ahead and use one of these awesome serving platters to fancy it up a bit. Are you a white dish lover? Use these serving bowls to make sure those delicious juices don’t spill out. Or maybe you prefer these wooden serving platters?
Easy dinner recipes like these keep your family eating healthy homemade dinners (and out of the drive-through lane). Looking for other ways to simplify cooking dinner at home? Check out these meal kit services.
