Slow Cooker

Cherry Buckle

I saw this recipe on a cooking show and came up with my own version. When the comforting aroma of this homey dessert drifts through the house, it’s hard not to take a quick peek inside the slow cooker —Sherri Melotik, Oak Creek, Wisconsin

Dinner

Rotisserie Chicken Soup

Crackers, crusty slices of bread or easy drop biscuits are a great accompaniment for chicken noodle soup; they’re delicious dunked in the broth! You can also pair a cup of chicken noodle soup with a side salad or a sandwich for a filling meal.

Slow Cooker

Apple Cranberry Cider

Buffets are my favorite way to feed a crowd. This fruity cider can be made ahead, then kept warm in a slow cooker so people can serve themselves. —Kathy Wells, Brodhead, Wisconsin

Slow Cooker

Cajun Corn

My husband loves corn on the cob, and I love this slow-cooker recipe because I don't have to stand at a hot stove. We like a little spice, so the Cajun seasoning works well for us, but any spice blend works. —Audra Rorick, Lyons, Kansas

Slow Cooker

BBQ Chicken

Of all the recipes I make in my slow cooker, this Crock-Pot BBQ chicken is my most treasured. If you enjoy your BBQ sweet with a little spice, this will be your new favorite, too. —Yvonne McKim, Vancouver, Washington

Slow Cooker

Two Bean Chili

The first time I had this chili at a Super Bowl party, I was on my second bowl before I realized it had no meat! It's so chock-full of ingredients and flavor that it's hard to believe this is a low-fat recipe. Enjoy! —Ronald Johnson, Elmhurst, Illinois

Slow Cooker

Root Vegetables

When she was a little girl growing up in Italy, my Aunt Virginia learned to make a dish called “Noodles and Nuts.” I tried the topping on carrots and parsnips instead of noodles and haven't looked back. —Terri Collins, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Dinner

Frikadellen

Frikadellen can be served either hot or cold. They can be served as a standalone or alongside rolls or lettuce wraps to make a sandwich. Side dishes that pair well with frikadellen include German recipes such as potato salad, red cabbage, and pickled beets. Thinly sliced radishes or cucumber dill salad are tasty lighter options.

Dinner

Chicken Pad Thai

Serve your meal with a glass of rosé, riesling, sauvignon blanc or gewurztraminer. An ice-cold beer perfectly complements pad thai.

Dinner

Skillet Lasagna

We use no-cook lasagna noodles, so we do not boil them before adding them to the skillet. These noodles absorb moisture from the sauce, softening as the lasagna simmers. Do not substitute cooked noodles for this recipe, as the lasagna would turn out too saucy and watery.
