Slow cooker, grill and hearty mains

Hundreds of recipes by Carter Nguyen – slow cooker, grill and oven mains, plus party snacks.

Profile:

Carter Nguyen's recipes lean toward food that cooks low and slow or finishes with a little char: Mississippi pot roast, pub-style beef stew, slow cooker beef and broccoli, French dip sliders and baked stuffed Anaheim peppers. Most of the collection sits in Main Dishes, with a smaller group of party bites in Appetizers & Snacks and a few morning dishes such as slow cooker oatmeal and biscuits-and-gravy casserole.

What ties these recipes together is how they are organized. Ingredient lists lean on supermarket cuts and straightforward spice mixes, steps are written in a sensible order, and make-ahead and leftover ideas are often included, so a roast can become sliders or tacos the next day. Recipes written for the slow cooker, the grill or the oven state the method up front, so you can choose what suits your kitchen and your evening.

If you cook for a family, a game-day crowd or a weekend gathering, start with Carter's main dishes and add a snack or two from the appetizer section. Browse the latest recipes below to see what's new.
