Slow Cooker Recipes from Main Dish to Dessert

Unlock a world of culinary wonders with an array of tantalizing slow cooker recipes, taking you from mouthwatering main dishes to delectable desserts.



Slow cooker recipes have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. They offer a convenient and effortless way to prepare delicious meals without spending hours in the kitchen. With a slow cooker, you can simply throw in your ingredients and let them simmer and cook for hours, resulting in tender and flavorful dishes.

One of the greatest benefits of using a slow cooker is the ease of preparation. Most recipes require minimal prep time, as you only need to chop and prepare the ingredients before placing them in the slow cooker. This not only saves time but also reduces the amount of dirty dishes and kitchen mess.

Another advantage of slow cooker recipes is the ability to cook large quantities of food at once. This makes them perfect for families or for meal prepping for the week. You can easily double or triple a recipe and have leftovers for days, making it a cost-effective option for busy households.

Slow cookers are also a great way to create healthy meals. Because the ingredients are cooked at a low temperature for a longer period of time, they retain more nutrients and flavors compared to traditional cooking methods. Additionally, slow cookers allow for lean cuts of meat to become tender and juicy, making it easier to incorporate protein into your diet.

There are endless possibilities when it comes to slow cooker recipes. From soups and stews to casseroles and desserts, there is a recipe for every taste and dietary restriction. You can find recipes that cater to specific diets such as vegetarian, gluten-free, and low-sodium, making it a versatile tool for anyone looking to improve their eating habits.

One of the most popular slow cooker recipes is the classic pot roast. This dish typically includes beef, vegetables, and seasonings, all cooked together in the slow cooker for several hours until the meat is fall-apart tender. It's a hearty and comforting meal that requires minimal effort and is perfect for a chilly evening.

Another popular slow cooker recipe is chicken tortilla soup. This Mexican-inspired dish is packed with flavor and can be customized with toppings such as avocado, cheese, and sour cream. It's a great option for a quick and easy weeknight dinner.

For those with a sweet tooth, slow cookers can also be used to make desserts.

It's a delicious and comforting dessert that can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Fall Apple Pie Simmer Pot


I don't know about you, but I get excited about fall decorating. The change of colors is always so pretty and fall just feels like such a cozy season. 

One of my other favorite things about fall is all of the wonderful scents. Ahhh, the crisp fall air! There’s something so magical about it, and it’s the perfect time of year to enjoy all of the delicious aromas that come with the season. The rich spices like ground cinnamon and cloves bring a warmth to the air that can’t be denied.  Whether you’re cozying up to a fire, baking a delicious treat, or just taking in the sights and smells of the season, the crisp fall air, the rich spices, fresh apples, ground cinnamon, and cloves are all sure to bring a smile to your face. What's not to love?!

DIY simmer pots are a great way to make your home smell amazing with no added chemicals or artificial fragrances. The scent of apple pie will fill your home in no time! It only takes a few minutes and it really does make the house smell sublime.  It’s also fun to experiment with different ingredients, so play around with what you have and see what you can come up with.

I usually make this simmer pot on the stove but decided to try my small 1.5-quart slow cooker, because I don't have to keep such an eagle eye on it. If you are interested in a small slow cooker try this one ➤ Amazon.com: Elite Gourmet MST-250XW# Electric Slow Cooker.


APPLE PIE Simmer pot

  • 1 small apple thinly sliced
  • 2 cups liquid (apple cider, apple juice, or water)
  • 1 tbsp. whole cloves
  • 3-4 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 tbsp. nutmeg
  1. Add all of the ingredients to a small saucepan and stir.  Bring to a gentle boil and then reduce heat to low. Continuously add more liquid (either cider or water) as needed and do not allow it to dry up.  
  2. Or do add all the ingredients to a crockpot, stir, and select the HIGH setting. Once it's hot, you can turn the setting to LOW or WARM.
  3. Stir it up every hour to get the scent going.  
  4. If you use a crockpot, you may need to increase the recipe size depending on the size of your crockpot.  


I will keep the mixture going in the slow cooker for up to a week. This is a great way to enjoy the scent for an extended period of time, and also to be able to adjust the strength as desired. Each evening, I turn off the slow cooker, and in the morning I turn it back on. As the week progresses, I may add in some citrus peels or apple cores to give a bit of extra flavor, or I may add a bit more of the spices I used in the beginning. This ensures that the scent remains strong and fragrant throughout the week. I keep it going until either it doesn’t look too good, or the smell isn’t as strong as it was when I first started.




Do you use a simmer pot to make your house smell delicious? We'd love to hear from you. Comment and share below!

Keep it sassy,

Kelly
