33 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Recipes

I love cooking in my slow cooker. It’s like a magical box you put raw food in and a wonderful meal pops-out! But some nights, I don’t have time to make my favorite recipe, my Slow Cooker Taco Soup, and I don’t have time to make one of these 25 Family Slow Cooker Recipes, I break out one of these 33 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Recipes!

Every one of these recipes is a knock-out…and every one is quick! A combination that works for me every time I’m in a pinch. My favorite go-tos are like basically whatever meat I have in the freezer! LOL!

Can it truly get any easier than 3 ingredients?

I DARE YOU TO TRY.

Not to mention, many of these recipes are just waiting to be made because you most likely have everything you need right in your kitchen. And on the off chance you don’t, think of all the money you’ll save by grocery shopping for just 3 ingredients.

I can hear those money bells ringing! (does such a thing exist?)
