Ah, the simple joy of a cozy night at home with an even cozier meal. Your slow cooker is your partner in all things comfort food, and this spring, there’s no better time to gather your favorite ingredients, sit back, and relax while dinner for the whole family comes together seamlessly.
Sometimes, you just need to take things slow. And in a beautiful Sego home designed for relaxation, that’s totally okay. Whether you want to start a movie marathon or dive into a new book, your slow cooker will work its magic while you relax. Take a look at a few of our favorite slow cooker recipes to indulge in this spring:

Spaghetti and Meatballs: We all have fond memories of twirling spaghetti on our forks, and the good news is that this delicious dish tastes even better coming from a slow cooker. Buon appetito!
Crispy Skin Jerk Chicken: Flavorful, satisfying, and packed with heat from jalapenos, you can amp up the spice level by substituting habaneros. An easy prep time means minimal work — and who can say no to that?
