Did you know that you can make things like cheesecake, caramelized onions, yogurt and rice in your slow cooker? Check out these 25 Creative Ways to Use Your Slow Cooker for recipes!

 

I absolutely love using my slow cooker for quick and healthy dinners, but did you know that you can use it for things like cheesecake, candy, corn on the cob and bread?

 

I use it all the time to cook dried beans and chicken broth, which is healthier than canned and also saves me money, so I decided to see what other unusual uses I could find. Check out this amazingly awesome list of creative things to make in your slow cooker for more inspiration!

    We use our crockpots (yes, more than one--we own 3 extra large and 2 small) many ways for our large family (mom, dad, 9 kids) Thanks for sharing your ideas!

    I absolutely love my slow cooker. My husband needs to eat dinner about two hours before the rest of the family (he works nights), so it provides everyone with a good meal that involves very little work.

    I just found your post on Mom 2 Mom Monday and I love the list of ideas. Before coming to the US from Europe I haven't heard about a slow cooker. We got one as a gift 2 years ago and we use it occasionally. Now we can use it way more often. Thank you!

    Slow cooker cheese cake?! I need to get on that. As the weather heats up here in Texas, I will be using my slow cooker more to keep the temp down in my tiny place. I always think of it for dinner items, though. This makes me want to try some dessert foods in there!

    If we didn't use the crockpot, my family would eat McDonald's most nights. :/ Bookmarking this!
