For several causes, using a crock pot may help you save both time and money. By slow cooking, you may improve the flavor of a less costly piece of meat.
Because of their low energy use, working with a slow cooker gives up both our precious time and your cooking surface for other uses.
Did you consider that a chicken and rice slow cooker dish will help you stretch your food dollars further? Yes, of course. Chicken & rice are both favorites of finicky eaters, so serving them together is a great way for large families to stretch their meals.
White rice can be used in almost every recipe, but if you want to enhance the nutritional value, offer brown rice alongside your crock pot meals instead. Brown rice is an excellent food choice since it provides a wide range of nutrients.
