Dump-and-go recipes are some of my favorite types of recipes to make during the week. They are super simple to make up, and consist of mostly pantry ingredients!

These recipes make it easy to prepare in advance to ensure you have everything on hand when you need it, and the slow cooker recipe is also very budget-friendly.

When you make these recipes you will get plenty of hearty meals and amazing flavors that the entire family will enjoy. Perfect for the soup season and chilly weather ahead.

Plus, I don’t know about you, but I love the fact that I can basically dump the ingredients into the slow cooker, set, it and leave everything to cook.

What is so great about slow cooker recipes?

With slow cooker recipes, you only need a few ingredients and they can sit and cook all day when you are at work and come home to a house smelling amazing.

Then you just need to finish the last steps and serve it with your favorite sides.

What to serve with crockpot meals:

It will depend on what you choose to cook, but you cannot go wrong with your favorite rolls, an extra veggie, or a simple side salad.

Then of course, you can always finish up dinner with an easy dessert or a warm drink like hot cocoa or this apple cider recipe!
