I don't know about you, but ever since I've subscribed to the slow cooker lifestyle, I haven't looked back.

The likelihood of cooking every night becomes increasingly obsolete as the daily grind of the work life balance intensifies. Let's be real, after working a long day, meeting the needs of the other humans in your life, and coming back home to you at the end of the day – who really feels up to the hassle of cooking that elaborate meal you bought groceries for the week before? I sure don't.

While grocery delivery services like Hello Fresh and Blue Apron have popularized in recent years, as well as meal-prepping, but I've found a great alternative by cooking long pots in the form of slow cooker meals. These days, slow cookers are used for more than just soups and stews.

Check out 8 of my favorite slow cooker recipes that simplify my weeknight meals down below.
