These easy slow-cooker recipes will allow you to gather around the dinner table with your family for a warm Sunday supper to start your week off on the right foot. With a little planning, all you'll have to do on Sunday is toss all the ingredients into your slow cooker and let it do the cooking while you enjoy the rest of your Sunday. You'll have a home-cooked meal a few hours later without having to sacrifice any of your day in the kitchen. Even though these slow-cooker recipes are easy solutions, they definitely don't skimp on the flavor or nostalgia.
