70 Plus Fall & Winter Slow Cooker Recipe Roundup

Fall is here my friends! I love the cool, crisp air, sweatshirts in the morning, and watching football with my hubby (okay to be honest, he likes that more than me!) One thing I truly miss all summer is my favorite fall and winter cooking method – my crock-pot (check out my favorite one here)!

I gave this baby a rest during the summer months, especially when our air conditioner broke – didn’t want to create any extra heat! But now that the weather is cooler, bring on the warmth and delicious smells from the easiest way to cook EVER – Sorry, I get a little excited when I am talking crockpots!

I enjoy lighting my pumpkin latte candle, pulling my hoodie over my ears, and running my crock-pot meals all day (and you should too)! Since I love my crock-pot so much I decided to bring you a collection of easy crockpot recipes from my fellow food bloggers.

Let me just tell you, these recipes are scrumptious! Not to mention, many of these recipes are cheap crockpot meals you can enjoy with your family even if you are on a budget.

Imagine walking out of your house in the morning after setting your crockpot and walking back in with dinner ready. Let your crockpot do the work so you can sit back and relax.

No more worries about dinner, mama! I’ve got you covered! These easy slow cooker recipes will have your family craving more!
