Ben Halvorsen

Ben fell apart a little when his second kid was born and dinner became the thing he could not hold together. The slow cooker gave him his evenings back, and with them the bedtime stories he was too wrecked to read. He cooks like a man who is grateful, because he is.

What you will find here

Crockpot Days is for slow cooker dinners you can start in the morning and forget about. Real cook times, no browning steps that defeat the point, and food that still tastes like food after eight hours.

How recipes get made here

Every recipe runs in a standard 6-quart oval slow cooker on the setting the recipe names. If it only works on low, it says low. Freezer-bag and dump-and-go versions are tested separately.

Some links on the site are affiliate links. If you buy through one, the site may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes what gets recommended.
