6 Super-Easy Slow Cooker Recipes Your Lazy Ass Can Make On a Sunday and Eat All Week

TIME. Who’s got it? Not us, that’s for sure! And the time we do have we need to spend catching up on Southern Charm because we keep getting texts about how surprising it is that Craig drives a Kia. And since we can’t even find an hour for the Charm, we almost certainly do not have the time to be slaving over nightly meals.

As such, we have recently gotten into the habit of making a giant batch of food on Sunday and then eating it over the course of the week. Bonus: Our whole roundup of the best easy slow cooker recipes will save you time and energy during the cooking process thanks to the one-gadget method. And just in case you’re worried that your diet will turn into some kind of sad mundane situation, remember that there are plenty of ways to mix up one recipe into lots of different meals.

We consulted some of our favorite food blogs and found the best slow cooker recipes to make in giant batches, and enjoy all week. Behold:
