The Crockpot is great for families that are busy all day with impatient kiddos (and adults!) that are ready to eat as soon as they get home. On busy days, it is tempting to run and get take-out or throw a frozen pizza in the oven. With a little planning in the morning, you can set the Crockpot to have your meal ready as soon as tummies start rumbling. There is nothing better than walking into the house, filled with the delicious smells of your dinner, ready to devour.
