Winter comfort foods come in many forms, but you’ll find the best winter dinners from the slow cooker. The last thing you want to do after trudging through the cold and snow is begin to prepare a meal. Instead, you can prep many slow cooker winter meals in the morning, and let them cook all day while you’re out. Or, better yet, let them cook all night for the next day’s meal.
Two foods we find to be great winter comfort foods are slow cooker tortilla soup and slow cooker lasagna. Both slow cooker foods are warming and satisfying, without much need for other courses or sides. It just so happens that we have two great recipe collections of slow cooker tortilla soup recipes and slow cooker lasagna recipes.
