Success in the Slow Cooker Mate

Is it possible to cook an entire meal in your slow cooker? The main dish and two side dishes?

Watch and see for yourself.



The Novotny's give it the 24/7 MOMS stamp of approval. Our dinner was perfect not overcooked as we had suspected it might be. It was simple, yummy and a huge time saver for me the MOM.

When it comes to buying a new kitchen appliance I suggest you buy ones that will save you time. They may cost you a bit more but the time you will save is well worth the extra investment.

After trying out the Slow Cooker Mate, it is now on my MOM must have list to simplify her life.

The ability to place the main dish and two side dishes in a slow cooker all at once is AMAZING. To think after a busy day I arrive home to the entire meal ready to serve to my family. Another simple way to get our families back to the dinner table.

The yummy, tasty, amazing meal we ate in our Slow Cooker Mate is listed below for you to try out:
