Not sure if it’s the winter blues or what but I have not wanted to cook lately. I’ve been on the lookout for easy crockpot recipes I can include in my meal planning and prep day. These easy crockpot recipes will get you excited to be back to cooking because you won’t be cooking – you’ll be throwing all the ingredients into the slow cooker and enjoying the free time! Here are 7 Easy Crockpot recipes you’ll love!
My crockpot is about 6 years old and it’s looking rough! I didn’t realize how old and used it looked until I carried it over to a friend’s home for dinner. Sitting there on the counter with all the other fancy crockpots and bowls made me feel a little bad for my battered looking crockpot. But I figured I’ve gotten TONS of use out of my slow cooker. I used to make something in my slow cooker at least 2-3 times a week the first year I bought it. Now I use my slow cooker a few times per month but it’s still one of the best $30ish kitchen gadgets I’ve ever owned. I even promised I wouldn’t buy a new slow cooker until this old one bites the dust! 🙂Â
If you don’t have a slow cooker, trust me go out and buy one. Totally worth it!Â
7 EASY CROCKPOT RECIPES YOU’LL LOVEÂ
This turkey chili looks amazing! And this would recipe would be super easy to prep and throw into your crockpot on a busy morning. This recipe is definitely clean eating and she even has a vegan chili I’m going to check out!
Ummm…yum!!! This mushroom and chicken combo looks downright delish! I would surely serve this over jasmine rice. Do your kids like mushrooms? Mine actually do, I know, I know…it’s a miracle! 😉 I think this is a recipe my kids would love for sure!
Honey Buffalo Meatballs….enough said right?! Simple to throw together and probably perfect for these upcoming winter nights. I want to try these because the recipes calls for the best hot sauce ever: Frank’s Red Hot!
I chose this recipe because of the sheer simplicity – a simple (and yummy looking) vegetable soup. Deep down in my simple, little heart I love recipes that are basic, have easy to find ingredients and that I can tailor to my family’s taste. This is one of those recipes!
Sloppy Joes are one of my favorite comfort foods. As a kid we ate the outta-the-can version but this homemade version is so much better!
Pot Roast is THE most requested crockpot recipe in my family. They love it! I would serve this crockpot pot roast with mashed potatoes and roasted carrots.Â
And last but not least….
Banana bread oatmeal made in your slowcooker….yasssss!!!! I love oats and this looks like the perfect combo of sweet and nourishing.
I hope you’ve been inspired to grab your slowcooker and try one of these easy crockpot recipes!

LOL I think we may have the same crockpot 🙂 Ours is so old the outside is not even stainless steel haha. But it does the job every time. And those meatballs look deliciousssss.
Thank you thank you thank you! I have been so bored with food lately and these recipes all look awesome!
Sloppy joes are one of my favorites to do. But the banana bread is not something I would have thought to try in a crockpot!
I love crockpot meals so much that I own several different crockpots. I have a small 1-2 person serving size one, perfect for dips and small batch soups. a larger one and than one big enough for a small turkey. I actually get a lot of use out of them!
I love crockpots, they make meal time awesome. I have 3 different crockpots ranging in size from 1-2 serving all the way up to being able to fit a small turkey. I like to think of crockpots as the black cauldrons of modern age, because you can toss anything in and it comes out tasting great like magic.

I love cooking in the slow cooker, too! I have a batch of homemade vegetable broth going in it right now. I am going to have to try the vegetable soup for my movie night tomorrow night since I have a few friends who don’t eat meat. And my oldest son has oatmeal every morning, I’ll have to try the banana bread (his favorite) oatmeal.
I love crock pot meals in the winter. Yum!
