Are you looking for some new and delicious slow cooker recipes so you can have tasty and stress-free dinners this week?
I love making meals in a slow cooker. Dinners are so much easier when you start everything in advance! I’m less stressed, can focus on things I’d rather do, all while knowing that I have a delicious meal cooking.
So, if you’re looking for some of the best slow cooker recipes, I have 10 new recipes for you to try – that’s almost two full weeks of meal ideas!
I think you’re going to like all of these slow cooker recipes, but here are my favorites:
- Easy Slow Cooker Cauliflower Soup – Cauliflower, cashews, and a smoky chickpea topping. This soup is packed full of protein, and it’s vegan. This soup is creamy, rich, and the chickpea topping is roasted, which gives it a nice crunch.
- Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken Soup – Chicken, black beans, fire roasted corn, lime juice, and more. You can top this hearty soup with cheese, avocado, sour cream (I like to use plain Greek yogurt), and more.
- Mozzarella Stuffed Crockpot Meatloaf – Garlic, onions, mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, and more. This meatloaf even has a delicious sweet and spicy glaze on top. I honestly had no idea that you could even make meatloaf in the slow cooker until I found this recipe.
Many of these slow cooker recipes take 15 minutes or less of prep time, which means you can easily make them before you go to work in the morning. They also make great leftovers for lunch the next day.
I like to put together slow cooker recipes before we go out hiking, biking, or exploring. We’re usually very hungry when we finish, and having a slow cooker meal ready to eat means we’re never too tired to eat dinner at home.
Being too tired or too hungry to cook is probably one of the top reasons for going out to eat, but dinner out can easily cost $30-$50. That can be a lot of extra spending that you didn’t budget.
So, these slow cooker recipes will give you some delicious new ideas, make dinner time easier, and they’ll keep your food budget in check.

I like to cook lamb in my slow cooker. Insert several slices of fresh garlic, rub with rosemary add a 1/4 cup of red wine and a few hours later – heaven!
I have to admit that I’ve recently been messing up in my healthy eating and then throwing down a double quarter pounder’s with extra cash at the pickles. I gained the weight back from the weight I lost, but certainly do miss the preparation of making my own home-cooked meals and fruit choice consisting of pineapple, avocado, banana, and sometimes aiding green grapes or possibly other fruits.
