When the air turns crisp and the days start getting shorter, I always find myself dusting off the crockpot. Between kids’ sports, after-school chaos, and trying to get dinner on the table before everyone’s too tired to eat, slow cookers are a sanity saver. There’s nothing better than coming home to a kitchen that smells amazing and dinner that’s already done.
If you’re ready for cozy, comforting meals without the stress, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite crockpot recipes from the blog. Each one has been tested (and devoured) at my house—so I know they’ll be a hit at yours too.
🥩 4-Ingredient Meatballs and Gravy
These are my go-to on hectic weeknights. Just four ingredients, and you’ve got a comforting dinner that tastes like it took all day. Serve them over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice for the ultimate cozy comfort meal.
🥕 Don’t Toss It, Stock It! My Zero Waste Vegetable Broth from Kitchen Scraps
I love this one because it’s a win-win: you save money and reduce waste. Toss your veggie scraps in a freezer bag, and when you’ve got enough, let the crockpot turn them into a flavorful homemade broth. Perfect for soups, stews, or just sipping on a chilly day.
🌽 Aces and Eights Corn Chowder
Creamy, hearty, and full of flavor—this chowder is comfort in a bowl. It’s great for Sunday supper or meal prep because it reheats beautifully.
🍎 Grandma’s Cinnamon Applesauce
This one smells like fall in a pot. It’s sweet, warm, and full of cinnamon flavor. I make big batches to serve with pork chops or just enjoy on its own. Bonus: your house will smell incredible all day long!
🍷 Beef Bourguignon – Slow Cooked Step-by-Step
If you’ve ever wanted to make a classic French dish without spending hours in the kitchen, this is it. Tender beef, rich sauce, and layers of flavor—all with the magic of a slow cooker.
🌶️ Spicy Bloody Mary Chili Recipe
We’ll wrap things up with a family favorite. This chili is hearty, a little spicy, and loaded with flavor. It’s the perfect game-day dish or weeknight meal that everyone asks for seconds of.
When the weather cools off, the crockpot earns its spot back on the counter—and with these recipes, you’ll have plenty of easy, delicious options to keep dinner stress-free all season long.
