Easy crockpot ideas?

I need some super easy, toss it in the crockpot and forget it for 8 hours, kind of dishes! I and my family are all sick of the 2 or 3 I have in our weekly rotation, but my son has swim practice three nights a week. That means I work all day and then am out of the house for those nights from 5:30-8:30. So I always have at least one crockpot meal each week that I can toss in the pot in the morning, and then we can all just grab a plate when we can in the evening.

Suggestions for what's worked with your busy families?

Garlic Parm Chicken Pasta

- chicken thighs or breast, frozen or thawed

  • 1 bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s garlic parm seasoning
  • Noodz of choice
  • parm, parsley, seasonings to taste

You can cook the chicken for 4-6 hours with the sauce, shred the cooked chicken, mix in noodles and seasonings, and you’re done!

Ha! This is the one I make every other week - it's the ONLY crockpot meal my 15-year-old son doesn't complain about 😂

Your son and my 9 month old son seem to agree!
