These slow cooker meals are perfect for two people. Just throw the ingredients in the crockpot in the morning and come home in the evening to a yummy smelling house and even tastier dinner. You’ll put all of these crockpot meals for two people into heavy rotation!
The slow cooker was my best friend when I was a single working mom raising 3 kids. All it took to get dinner on the table was a tiny bit of work in the morning and then we’d all come home to a delicious-smelling house and a meal we could dig into right away. What a win!
My situation has changed radically since those days. None of my kids live at home, I work at home all day, and the only people I’m feeding at dinnertime are my husband and myself.
The slow cooker is still one of my favorite tools though. After my husband leaves for work, I can get everything into the slow cooker and serve it up when he gets home.
These days, though, I’m using different recipes. I can be a little more adventurous in what I serve since I only have to please my husband and me rather than looking for dinners that can please three picky eaters.
And I cook in smaller quantities now. When I was feeding two teenage boys, the first thing I checked when I looked at a recipe was how many servings it provided and the more the better. Now, the perfect slow cooker meal is one that’s tasty and healthy and provides just enough for one dinner with enough leftovers for lunch down the road.
I’ve compiled a list of over 25 recipes from around the Internet that are just perfect for two people. What are your favorite go-to slow cooker meals?
Slow Cooker Pot Roast Just Right for Two
This is a go-to recipe in my house when we’re in the mood for some satisfying comfort food.
