r/crockpot

that are truly dump and go. Not gotta brown this or that. Rip it out of the package, maybe chop it up, then in the pot it goes. Those low effort, I ain't time for this shit, but I want something tasty

My 6 qt crockpot is 15+ years old and it’s definitely time for a newer and larger one. Looking for something larger and with a lock lid.

I just made chicken fajitas in the crockpot and absolutely love it. I’d love to hear and see everyone’s favorite Mexican crockpot recipes. Thanks!

Give me your best crockpot recipes to do on high for 4 hours. Need inspiration

I am trying to start my crockpot/slow cook journey as our lives ramp up.

I have one tiny appetizer sized crockpot, a Dutch oven, and two instant pots (never use), but would like a larger crockpot for our Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday dinners.

Family of three: myself (mom) and two boys ages seven and eleven. No one has large appetites - at least for now, and we don't eat much leftovers. Maybe just once/per week if we really loved it.

I went away for an extended weekend recently to check on some property I own 200 miles north of where we’re living now. In doing my daily check-in with homebase, I discovered that they had decided to cook the spare ribs I had in the freezer. And they decided to use the crockpot. On the last check-in before I headed home, I was told that the ribs didn’t turn out very well because the crockpot didn’t work right.

The reason the crockpot didn’t work right was…they didn’t use the ceramic pot! Just dumped it all into the metal part that the ceramic pot sits on.

I’m convinced the unit is ruined. They didn’t add much liquid, but did add BBQ sauce towards the end of cooking time. And the cooked onions and melted fat gave them a nice mixture with the BBQ sauce. What does everyone think?

Long story short, a lot of work is being done in our kitchen, and we currently only have 2 crock pots and a microwave for cooking. This will probably still be the case for at least a month, if not more like 2 or 3.

It's been hot so we have been doing a lot of sandwiches, rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, etc....but we've also been spending too much on takeout. And I'm kinda missing cooking and home cooked food.

Just looking for ideas for full meals we can make with 2 crockpots (idk the exact sizes but one is like the biggest oval one and one is a medium sized round one) and a microwave.

Thanks for any ideas and inspiration.
