25,203Slow Cooker Recipes for Fall *
I have to admit, I’m obsessed with slow cooker recipes. There’s something irresistible about putting a bunch of ingredients into a countertop appliance and in 6-10 hours, dinner is ready! I love making slow cooker recipes for Sunday dinner as well as a meal solution for a busy weeknight.
Not all slow cooker recipes are alike, let’s face it, there are duds out there. Not all are guaranteed to turn out tasty, some turn out just plain bland. I love it when I discover or develop a new family favorite. I wanted to share with you some of my favorites and would love hear about yours!
My Favorite Slow Cooker Recipes
This Whole Chicken in a Slow Cooker recipe is roast chicken as easy as it gets. When I roast chicken or turkey, I always put a quartered lemon in the cavity, this ensures the meat stays moist and tender. After the chicken’s done in the slow cooker, put it under the broiler to crisp the chicken. With the leftover chicken, we make another favorite, chicken pot pie.
Beef pot roast is a longtime fall and winter favorite — comfort food at its best. I love this French Onion Pot Roast because it’s super simple using a condensed French onion soup. The veggies that cook with the roast make great side dishes along with mashed potatoes.
I have been obsessed with beef short ribs ever since I first had them at a restaurant. I have found making them in the slow cooker the perfect way to make them. This recipe for Red Wine-Braised Short Ribs is amazing. There is a bunch of prep before putting everything into the crock pot but it’s worth it and you’ll thank me when you make this dish.
Here are a couple slow cooker recipes that I’m dying to try:
I have been searching for a Beef Bourguignon recipe that doesn’t include bacon and I think this is the one! I love Aggie’s version because it looks super easy. There is a little bit of prep before everything goes into the slow cooker but it looks worth it!
These Korean Beef Tacos from Tina look amazing. Food trucks have exploded all over including in Central Florida and I can’t wait to try her Tina’s slow cooker version of this food truck hit!
Do you have any favorite slow cooker recipes? I would love to hear about them. Link up in the comments.

I love meat when it’s nice and tender. That’s what’s so great about the slow cooker!
Wow I’m hungry now! These recipes look amazing! I don’t know how to make much in my slow cooker and really need to use it more. I’ve made roast beef in it and that’s about it!
OOooh yum! You just gave me some serious motivation to break out my slow cooker! Thanks :)
Thanks for sharing, Julie!
Crock pot is Mom’s best friend! I use mine weekly and love the Not Your Mother’s Cookbook for a great variety of recipes.
One note on the onion recipe~ many of the condensed packs contain MSG. You might be better off just adding fresh cut onions and salt without losing too much of the flavor.
I roast a chicken every Sunday in the crockpot for easy chicken meals throughout the week and chicken salad. It is simple. Ribs are also a favorite in our home! Great post.
I, too, am obsessed with my slow cooker. I love how some people think of it as the cooking of last resort, like if you have to work all day, etc. The heck with that! It makes the BEST meals and is not labor-intensive, so where is that rule that says I can only use it when it’s absolutely necessary? I make all kinds of amazing stuff in the slow cooker. As soon as my husband finds out that dinner is out of the slow cooker, he’s psyched because he knows it’s gonna be amazing!!
These look like great recipes! I love doing short ribs in the slow cooker!
LOVE the Whole Chicken in a Slow Cooker !! I have made it several times !!!
These look amazing!
oh my goodness everything looks great. I really want a plate full of those braised short ribs!
Oh man, these all look really good! I might have to bust out the slow cooker for tonight dinner – yum!
Ooh those look delicious! I love slow cooker recipes too and am always on the lookout for new ideas, thanks for posting this!
You beat me to it! I planned on doing a little roundup soon! Fantastic recipes Julie! I still have to try a chicken in the crock.
Oh my gosh, yum! I love the slow cooker.
Slow cooker recipes with little to no prep are the best!
I heart my slow cooker too! With four kids and a hubby, it’s a God send. My daughter dropped my crock a couple of months ago and my heart shattered with the pottery. I just replaced it a couple of weeks ago and what a welcome respite!
Love these crockpot recipes! I’m always looking for new ones. I just made spaghetti and meatballs in the crockpot over the weekend and it was fabulous! I made homemade sauce and let it simmer for several hours, then I added frozen meatballs about an hour before serving. So easy and delicious!
I actually do macaroni and cheese in my crock pot and its super yummy! Doesn’t come out rubbery or anything…great when I transport to a party :)
4 cups cheese
1 can evaporated milk
1 box elbow macaroni, cooked al dente
add everything to crockpot, turn on low and serve in 2 hours !

I just bought a slow cooker and am so thrilled to see you can make a whole chicken in it. I had no idea. Thanks!
I’m a huge fan of a slow cooker! As a working mother I need all the help I can get. We have brisket tacos every tuesday night ;) Its our little family tradition.

I have a slow cooker collecting dust, I need to put it to use. The perfect time would be after the kids left for school and before I pick up Amia from Pre-K. Your recipes sparked my slow cooking bug.
Yum!! I love using my crockpot-especially in the Fall!
I would love to try making one of these food! It will help me use my slow cooker more.
