Crockpot Meals
Fall in Minnesota is one of my favorite seasons. It is the perfect blend of crisp, cool air and vibrant, breathtaking colors of falling leaves. Although, the start of this fall season was cold, drizzly and cold, the sunshine is back this week. The kids and I have been busy outside picking the last of the pumpkins and gourds, collecting seeds from our flower garden to plant next spring, raking and jumping into piles of leaves and riding in the combine and tractors as much as we can. Our days have been busy from the time we wake up until we go to bed.
When the days get busy, it’s my favorite time of the year to gather all my favorite Easy Crock Pot Dinners and get them plugged into my weekly meal plan. Crockpot Meals are the perfect way to maximize your day. They minimize the time you spend cooking in the evening and can be prepped before you rush out the door in the morning. This round-up has a little bit of everything so there is something for everyone. We’ve included slow cooked chicken, beef and pork recipes along with our favorite savory soup and chili recipes. We even added a couple breakfast for dinner options too. These slow cooker dinners will have your whole family asking for more.
Tips and Tricks For Easy Crockpot Meals
These are a few of my favorite tips and tricks for making these Crockpot Dinners extra easy!
- One of my favorite tips for making crock pot dinners extra easy is to prep as many ingredients as I can the night before. When you’re using meat that needs to be cooked or seared or getting a lot of vegetables chopped and prepped, doing it a day head of time saves you valuable minutes in the morning as you’re dashing to get everyone out the door. Then in the morning, you toss it together and turn it on. Easy!
- I love to get my kids in the kitchen with me whenever I can. Crock pot meals are a great way to have them help. Kids are great helpers at washing and peeling vegetables (with supervision). When we work on it the night before, there’s no rush or hustle and we enjoy that time together in the kitchen. If it’s a meal there isn’t as much for them to help with, I have them sit at the counter and work on their homework while I prep ingredients.
- I love to find recipes that allow me to prep the meal fully the night before. For these, toss all the ingredients into the insert and put it in the fridge overnight. In the morning, you simply take it out, pop it in and turn it on! This is one of my husband’s favorite ways to help make supper.
- Invest in a great crock pot and get to know how it works! Each crock pot I own (yes, I own more than one) cooks food differently. Varied temperatures, settings and sizes makes a big difference on overall cooking times. After you’ve used it a few times, you’ll know just how long and on what heat to cook your meals so they turn out perfectly every time!
The Best Crockpot Tools!
- First you want to invest in a good crockpot. This slow cooker is my favorite and I use it all the time, but if you want a temperature probe for temperature monitoring this crockpot is great!
- Have you ever heard of Slow Cooker Liners? AMAZING! They make it such a breeze to clean up the mess in your crockpot. After a meal cooks all day sometimes it can leave traces that are really cooked on your crockpot liner, but these slow cooker liners prevent that. Such an awesome invention!
- These Hands Free Ziplock Bag holder are amazing to storing leftovers! Such a great investment otherwise I end up trying to pour leftovers in a Ziplock bag and disasters happen!
- If you are making pulled pork I love having a pear of these Bear Claws for pulling apart the meat. Also great with pulled chicken!
