I am in an extremely busy time in my life, so time is always in short supply. I am also in the middle of a move, so I have part of my kitchen packed up. This is possible because I utilize my handy crock pot
Feeding my family healthy meals is also really important to me, but I don’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen most days. I love being able to put the ingredients for our dinner in the crock pot in the morning and go about my work for the day without doing the last-minute, what’s-for-dinner scramble.
We have our go-to meals that are always on our dinner rotation, but we are always looking for new, tasty recipes to add to the menu. I found some really great looking cookbooks on Amazon that I want to look through for some new recipes. Â Hope these might come in handy for you too.
Here are Amazon’s Top 8 Crockpot recipe cookbooks

My current favorite is the pork chops with apples in them, add a little apple juice and chopped onions, and cook in slow on crockpot! Viola! yummy dinner!
What a great collection of books – I’m especially interested in the Fix-It and Forget-It Big Cookbook. I love meals that will cook themselves while I’m busy doing other things.
Going to check these out on Amazon. Thanks.
love cooking in my slow cooker thanks for sharing

I am loving my crockpot more and more. It is so useful
I got a number of crock pots when my mom passed, and I’ve used them a couple of times, but really need more recipes I can use in them. I’ll have to check out these books – and buy one or two (perhaps more over time). With the heat of summer not far away, using the oven isn’t the best thing during the hot summer days, and I’d love to be able to set up dinner in the morning and not have to worry about it until time to eat.
I use my slow cooker often ( right now I have a pork tenderloin roast in it as we speak) . Although a good cookbook is nice to have I have found that just about anything I want to cook I can find hundreds of great recipes online. So instead of buying cookbooks I can spend the money cooking meals that I would not be able to afford had I spent the money on a cookbook.
My grandmother would love these since she is always looking through cookbooks for dinner ideas.
I used to cook in my slow cooker all the time, but haven’t recently. Thanks for sharing the cookbooks – it’s inspired me to pull it back out of the cabinet.

Cooking in a crockpot is so much fun.
I have a version of the fix it and forget it cookbook. I don’t use it much only because it doesn’t have picture. I’ve found I use cookbooks with pictures more often. So it would be great if the one on this list has pictures.
