Set a slow cooker to do your hard work during the day on a scrumptious recipe like these Pulled Porch Nachos. (Yes, girl. You can make nacho toppings in a slow cooker.)
For this recipe, you can put the pork in a slow cooker for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low -- aka let it cook while you're at work -- then shred the pork and bake the nachos with all your fixings in the oven for 8-10 minutes. The only way this is getting easier is if your order nachos. Get our recipe for Pulled Pork Nachos.
Get them from Amazon: 2-quart slow cooker for $7.69 and 6-quart slow cooker for $49.
Make things even simpler by freezing some slow cooker "dump dinners" that have all the stuff you need to throw in there in the morning.
Put all the chopped, prepped ingredients into a labeled freezer bag and store for as long as three months. The night before you plan to make the meal, put the bag in the fridge to thaw and in the morning, dump the contents into your slow cooker. Let it cook during the day and come home to a hot meal.

Limit yourself to a one-pan recipe that bakes in the oven while you do other stuff. You'll have less clutter while cooking and less dishes to wash afterward.
