There is something for everyone in this roundup of 15 Easy Slow Cooker Dinners! These are no-fuss recipes perfect for busy nights.
If you are like me, when you think of crockpot recipes, you think of pouring ingredients into a pot and pushing a button. I know searing and browning and other verbs that sounds like work can seal in juices and add flavor, but if I’m using my slow cooker, I want EASY. These 20 easy slow cooker recipes definitely deliver!
Putting ingredients in my magic crockpot in the morning and knowing dinner is already done is my favorite. You might look around here and think I love making a fab dinner every single night, but let’s remember the word “weary” in my name. I am so worn out in the evenings! I want to eat delicious food every night, but I don’t want to have to work very hard for it. If I can do a little bit of work in the morning when the coffee is flowing and I feel energetic, I feel like this when dinner time rolls around:
You’ll be feeling the same with these no-fuss recipes that don’t take a lot of prep. Whether it’s a school night or a busy summer day, you’ll want to come back to this list all year to find a quick dinner idea!

Liz says
fantastic–a new slow-cooker “cookbook” :-) Which are your faves, Andi?
Andi says
In typical fashion, I couldn’t just come up with an answer two days ago about what my favorites were. I needed to find time to look at the roundup again closely to narrow down my answer. That fruity BBQ chicken and the barbacoa beef are both up there for sure. I need to get busy with my slow cooker because clearly there are lot of tasty dinners to be had!
