I work 12 hour shifts, so I leave home at 6:15 a.m. and get home around 7:30/ 7:45 p.m. what are some slow cooking recipes that I can pop in the oven, slow cooker, etc. and will hold until I get home? I hàve been prepping meals, but sometimes it would be nice to come home to freshly cooked food rather than a reheated/ microwaved meal. I don't have any dietary restrictions, nor am I a picky eater. Thank you for your help!

    I vote for soups or stews in the crock pot. (Assuming you have a crock pot with removable crock). Prep your veggies and meat the night before and toss it all in the crock with broth/water and seasonings and refrigerate overnight. In the morning put the crock in the pot and cook on low all day. Soups always taste better when they slow cook for that long. Doesn't matter what meat/veggies you prefer, and can freeze in smaller portions for other days. Internet is full of crock pot soup recipes. 🌝

    Always my go to especially on cold winter days.

    You might think of investing in a sous vide set up. The modern ones are a staff about one foot long and two inches in diameter that you clip onto a large pot.

    ELEPHANT STEW

    INGREDIENTS
    1 elephant
    2 rabbits (optional)
    salt and pepper

    DIRECTIONS

    Cut elephant into bite size pieces.
    This should take about 2 months.
    Add enough brown gravy to cover.
    Cook over hot fire for 3 weeks.
    This will serve 3800 people.
    If more are expected, the two rabbits may be added, but do this only if necessary as most people do not like to find hare in their stew.

    Google is a very useful tool, and you can find countless sites for slow cooker recipes, covering every personal taste imaginable. Soups, stews, roasts, even desserts.
