Remember the crock-pot? That oh-so familiar slow cooker gathering dust on your kitchen counter? It’s too big to hide away in the back of the pantry — and even though you still use it for making soups, you kind of wish you could find other tasty no-fuss slow-cooker recipes? Here’s one, it’s a recipe from Lauren of Bytes from Texas.

Crock Pot Ossobuco, it’s a little different from the original veal shank dish in that Lauren’s recipe calls for beef. But you can still count on it to fill your family up and fill your home with a savory aroma while it cooks for up to 8 hours on low. This is a meal you can literally prepare before going to bed; just cut up a few veggies like celery, carrots and onions, then grab a few ingredients from the pantry, and your one pot wonder meal is ready to simmer away while you snooze.

If your Memorial Day weekend was a busy one, you’ll be glad we featured this recipe today! Don’t worry, you won’t have to pick up fast food on the way home tomorrow — this meal makes itself, you can even prepare in the morning before work. Then, when the evening comes around, you’ll get to serve your family a hot, healthy and hearty meal without having to think about spending hours in the kitchen! :)
