Here's an amazing roundup of 21 satisfyingly delicious slow cooker quinoa recipes – from breakfast to soups, stews, and even cheesy casseroles!
Now more than ever my body is craving all things comfort food. From creamy oatmeals at breakfast, hearty stews for lunch, and rich casseroles for dinner, all I can think about is food that will stick to my ribs and wrap me up in a big food hug.
It's the kind of meals that take a long time to cook – that cook long and slow for rich flavor. But I have a gas stove and don't feel comfortable leaving my stove on all day long to get those flavors to develop properly.
And that's precisely where my slow cooker comes in!
I feel like whenever I make something in my slow cooker it always ends up being theultra comforting kind of meal that I go to bed smiling about. The kind that's perfect for thewinter. And the kind that freezes well so I can enjoy these tasty meals all week long.
Today I've pulled together 21 of my favorite slow cooker quinoa recipes from some of my fellow food bloggers. We're starting with breakfast and moving our way all the way down to cozy casseroles and hefty dinners. Make sure you're signed into Pinterest because you're going to want to save every single one!
