A slow cooker is a busy mom’s best friend in the kitchen! Toss all the ingredients in the slow cooker, set the timer, and dinner is piping hot and ready at dinnertime. No fuss, no worries!
I’ve rounded up 11 slow cooker recipes perfect for your busy fall schedule. Just get the ingredients out the night before, set up dinner in the morning, and come home to a house filled with amazing smells. All you need to do is toss together a salad or warm up a load of bread in the oven.

Slow Cooker for Busy Moms: Instapot

I have my eye on this amazing Instapot Slow Cooker. At 12 by 11 by 10, this Instapot wouldn’t take up much space on my counter, and it would replace my current pressure cooker and slow cooker. I could put dinner in the Instapot in the morning, set the timer, and go about my day with no worries for getting dinner on the table. I’d love the ability to toss a leftover stew in the slow cooker to warm up while we’re working on homework.
Do me a favor and tell my husband how much I need this tool in my kitchen.

mmmmm……. fall food!
Of course I think I spent just as long looking at those great fiesta pieces as I did the recipes so I’ll tell ya what, I’ll tell your hubby that you need the instapot if you tell my hubby I need more fiesta ware. Deal?

I love my slow cooker. I use it all the time, even in the summer. These are great ideas, I will need to pin it for later 🙂

That new cooker looks awesome. I have a very old crock pot but these new ones are really catching my eye lately. Especially as I seem to be getting busier and busier. I think they would be great. Don’t know your husband 🙂 but hopefully someone will tell him to get you one. The mexican lasagna looks really great.

great list of slow cooker ideas. I love the thought of getting dinner ready way ahead of time because by dinner time I’m usually looking for an easy dinner meal.

Fall is my busy time of year so I use my crockpot a lot. I can’t wait for some homemade chili!
Thanks for the great ideas! I LOVE anything I can do in the crock pot. I even used mine throughout the summer so I didn’t have to turn on the oven, and it gave a nice variety from the grill once in awhile.

I am definitely going to be getting the slow cooker back out and putting it to good use as the weather turns cooler. I will have to try some of these recipes – especially the beef stroganoff one.

Beef stroganoff is on my 21 meals list. It’s so easy to make, and even better the next day.
I’d be lost without my slow cooker! Thanks for sharing this roundup with us at Merry Monday!

Yes, it’s such a great kitchen tool!
I found your link on the Coffee and Conversation Link Up Party 🙂 These recipes look DELICIOUS. I’m so obsessed with cooking in my Crock Pot in the fall, so I’m pinning a few of these to use 🙂
Thank you! I’m hoping to get my dh on board with getting a new slow cooker this week. I really need a full-size one with a timer.
