This Italian-inspired veal recipe might be slightly heavy on the prep work, but the delicious dish that results is worth it. You have to first brown the veal, then cook the onion and garlic before adding them all to the slow cooker. But afterward, you can cook the stew low and slow for 7 to 8 hours while you're at work or gone for the day, then have an amazingly silky, luxurious stew waiting for you to serve when you get home. There's nothing left to do or prep after the slow cooking time is up, meaning all your hard work at the beginning totally paid off at the end.
