Looking for easy, high-protein meals that basically cook themselves? In this video, Nicole shares five protein-packed slow cooker recipes that are perfect for busy days, big appetites, or anyone looking to get more out of their dinner with less hands-on time.
She kicks things off with juicy Garlic Butter Steak Bites and tender Crockpot Carnitas, then turns up the comfort with a creamy, cheesy Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese. There’s also a flavorful Slow Cooker Beef Bulgogi packed with sweet and savory depth, and a hearty Midwestern-style Belgian Booyah that’s made for cozy nights (and plenty of leftovers). Whether you’re meal prepping, feeding a crowd, or just craving something warm and satisfying, these slow cooker meals deliver on flavor and protein.

How long in crock pot for the beef tips please😊
Can pork loin be used for the carnitas?
You are my favorite viral cook. I don't know how anyone lives/cooks without a slow cooker!
Ok Nicole!!! Love the video!!! Awesome recipes. Now…Can you do ”Old School”!!! Can you do the recipe of the Campbell’s Scotch Broth? It was a favorite in my family when we were sick, and didn’t want the Campbell’s chicken noodle. Apparently Campbell’s stopped making it years ago. Are you up for the challenge?!!!
Love watching you cook learn a lot
