7. Finish with Creamy Goodness

Dairy and rich fats don’t always hold up well in a slow cooker, but adding them at the end can transform your dish into something irresistibly creamy. Stir in heavy cream, coconut milk, sour cream, or butter just before serving for a luscious finish. Even a handful of shredded cheese can melt into the sauce, adding a luxurious texture. This easy trick works wonders for soups, stews, and pasta dishes.
