Easy Slow Cooker Recipes for Winter. Everything easy, cozy, and delicious, so dinner can be ready when you get home after a long day at work!

To know me is to love me my slow cooker. You guys. My crockpot is hands down my favorite kitchen tool.

Why?

#1 It’s Easy. Pretty much every crockpot recipe on Show Me the Yummy is throw and go. Meaning. Literally throw all the ingredients into your slow cooker and let it cook all day. Who doesn’t LOVE having dinner practically done when they walk through the door after a long day at work?

#2 It’s versatile and deee-lish. Soups. Chicken dishes. Thai recipes. Vegetarian meals. Pasta. The possibilities are endless! Those of you who think slow cooker recipes are boring and mushy . . . I’m here to prove you wrong!

#3 It’s affordable. You guys. My favorite crockpot is only $50 and I’ve had it for 5 years. If you don’t have one yet, what are you waiting for?! 🙂

#4 It’s cozy. While I am a firm believer that you should use your crockpot all year round (seriously – it saves my life to not have to slave over a hot stove in 100 degree weather) – I do love love LOVE my crockpot during these cold winter months when all I want is to cozy up to a bowl of steaming hot deliciousness.

So. Crockpot/slow cooker lovers unite and get ready for all my favorite Easy Slow Cooker Recipes for Winter!
