30 Easy Crockpot Recipes

This time of year brings all sorts of added rushes. Everyone has to get back into the swing of the school schedule. There is drop-off, pick-up, after school activities, sports, playdates, homework groups, music lessons…..
As a working mom, I know that added stress of packing lunches AND planning dinners everyday is enough to push a sane person over the edge. This is why I rely so heavily on my crockpot. It really is a busy family’s best friend.
So you don’t have to search around the endless recipes on Google or Pinterest, I thought I would put together a group of my favorite 30 Easy Crockpot Recipes for the family. These are all in my regular rotation and are loved by all.

So many yummy recipes. I definitely want to add a couple to this week’s menu plan.
Thank you so much for sharing these recipes! So far I’ve tried 8 of them and they have all been amazing! I can’t wait to try the rest 🙂
Wow the bbq chicken and ranch potatoes where sooo yummy my boyfriend loved them thanks its gonna be a keeper.
These are ALL meat-heavy, which is disappointing. I was really hoping to find something, anything, without meat. We only have 1 meat-eater in our house and the rest of us need decent meal ideas, too!
I am sorry you are disappointed 🙁 I have a vegetarian hubby and make many of these vegetarian friendly by subbing in a vegetarian protein, beans, or baked tofu. Please shoot me an email if you need help adapting anything.
This is a great collection of recipes. They all actually look good appetizing.
My question has been brought up earlier, just looking for more detail, – I’m away from my house 10-11 hours like many mentioned. I do not like the idea of raw food sitting in the crockpot from 7am-10am before beginning to cook.
But – if I set it in the morning to cook on low for 6-8 hours, and then automatically switch to warm. What’s the rule of thumb for how long it can sit on warm for? 2hrs, 5 hrs, trial and error?
