13 Slow Cooker Recipes – That You’ll Love! (and a video chat)
If you’re on Facebook,I’d love it if you could click the little “like” button up there!
What’s not to love about coming home at the end of the day and having supper waiting?
That is exactly why my slow cooker is the single most useful countertop appliance I own. Today I thought I’d bring you a collection of slow cooker recipes that I’ve posted here on SouthernPlate.com. I hope you enjoy them!
Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice
This is my go-to Sunday dinner. I make the rice in the morning and put it in the fridge, then put the chicken on high before we leave for church.
Tender Roast And Veggies
Ever make a pot roast and have it turn out dry? Dry roasts will be forever behind you now!
(this was what we had for supper last night)
One Slow Cooker Recipe: 2 Different Meals
This is a great way to cook a roast and get two nights worth of suppers out of it!
Ricky’s Favorite Slow Cooker Pork Roast and Veggies
I can get ANYTHING I want just by offering to make this for my husband! This post includes the entire menu pictured.
Rustic Tomato-less Beef Stew
I just love a good and hearty stew!
Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki
Love this stuff and so easy – way better than takeout!
Slow Cooker Fiesta Chicken and Rice
Customize this for your family by setting up a selection of your favorite taco toppings on the table!
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork BBQ
This is the type of BBQ we have in North Alabama with a tender and flavorful pork and a nice clear sauce to pour over it. YUM!
Steak Tips over Rice (and the importance of a doughnut shop)
The story on this post is very close to my heart and the meal (made with surprisingly inexpensive cuts of meat) is close to my husband’s heart!
Cheesy Chicken And Rice
I think this one is my personal favorite 
Crock Pot Lasagna
This post is as old as the hills and the photos are horrible, but it sure is good! A family and company favorite.
I love this stuff. Nice and mild (but can be made hotter) with the perfect blend of flavors.
A Southern classic at it’s finest. This post also has a link to my tutorial on how to can it with no special equipment needed.

I just love my slow cooker. It is a time saver for me. I work full time and my husband works long hours away from home so most evenings it just me and the kids. It hate to get home from work and then try to get supper ready. The chessy chicken and rice is so yummy, thanks for the reminder to make this again. The apple butter is on my to try list this year! The bowl of chili makes me want to go and get a spoon and dig in! I love how you can just throw a few things in there and have a wonderful meal that tastes like you spent all day making it! Thanks Christy
Awesome, awesome, awesome! I love my crockpot, especially as I have four children and homeschool. I have tried almost all of the recipes you listed above, but there are a few I haven’t, so I am super excited to try new ones. My family has loved every single recipe we have tried of yours. What a talent you have!
Hey, Christy! Great stuff! I’m now out in Iowa, but there are plenty of nursing homes, assisted living centers, etc. out here. Just wondering why you chose the Suave body wash. Is it mild? Our family would love to adopt a home out here. God’s richest blessings on you and all your readers today! Mary
Slow cookers are awesome, if fact I have three. I usually have one going for dinner tonight, a batch of something (lke apple butter or spaghetti sauce) and a dessert in the other. Our current favorite receipe is cheesy chicken and rice. We even like it without the chicken as a side dish! I have your cookbook and have made a boat load of your receipes. this year for Christmas I plan to give apple butter and plum butter as Christmas gifts to family and friends. Christy, you have made everyones life so much richer and fuller by bringing us so much of yourself and your lovekly family. May God Bless!
NEW BOOK!!!! WOOHOO!!!! I cant wait!!!
Thanks for “chatting” with us via your video! I love hearing your accent!
Thanks for taking the time to make a difference in MY life!
Where r u from?????????? I hope you aren’t one of those yankees that say you love hearing the southern bells!!!!! It’s a joke, I know how you yakees are.
I work in the oilfield and there are two fo us that have to do our own cooking. Needless to say we are always looking for something quick and easy. These slow cooker recipes are right up our alley and I plan to try them all. I’m so glad I found your website.
Thanks, Ms. Christy
Too many Ums in video
Not that you’re critical or anything, right?;0)
Hi Christy,
I found your site by linking from the video you posted on how to make bows. I feel like God has led me to a gold mine. I am such a lousy cook that if people come in while I’m cooking they check the bottoms of their shoes to see if they’ve stepped in something! I’m going to try the hair bows AND your recipe for cheesy rice this weekend. Thank you for sharing your time and talents!
God’s blessings to you,
Donna
So glad I found your website some time back. I just love all your stories and recipies. Keep up the great work and I am going to resubscribe to Southern Living (even though I live in the North!!).
Christy, I loved your video. Its like talking to a good friend. Can’ t wait till you come to Florence. I’m so excited. And I will be bringing Suave with me. What a wonderful idea.
Thanx for the slow cooker recipes!! So many of them look so good. I especially can’t wait to try the lasagna. YUM! I would love to see more of these, please.
How perfect to gather a bunch of Crock Pot recipes and put them altogether in one happy little family of a post. I know it takes time out of your book-writing to keep all of us SP folks happy……you know, when we are all a’clammoring for recipes for this or for that. Getting geared up for fall and big yummy hot pots of comfort foods, this post is a winner. Thank you for all your precious time that you spend on SP…..free to anyone who logs onto a computer. No criticisms here…just appreciation. XO Pssst, please thank Katy and Brady for sharing their mom w/ us.
Thanks for putting this list together. It is a great resource. I think that I want to make the all. Just made apple butter with my own recipe last Friday. The Chicken Teriyaki will be in my slow cooker on Sunday.
Hey, thanks for fulfilling my request for another chat session. Loved it. How about once a week?
You are so encouraging!! I’d love to do it once a week but I’m fairly certain I’d get booed off the stage!
Maybe if you are the only one in the audience I’d have a better chance
Then send it just to me…I would love it! Plus I think you underestimate your video appeal! So there.
Hey, Christy! I just found your other post about how to adopt a nursing home. Thanks so much for all the helpful “how-to’s”. Mary
Love your video chats, always makes me smile!! I am so ready for Fall weather meals…..altho I do use my slow cooker year round(I’m lazy :p)
Thanks for always being so positive and encouraging!!! I first found your website right after you started in 08~hubby was deployed to Afghanistan and I really looked forward to your positivity and yummy recipes. We are coming to the end of another deployment and I already have a list of the recipes he will just love……..cant wait to have him home and feed him
Michelle, I know you are so ready for him to be home! When is he due to be there? Oh, and once he gets home you give him a BIG hug from me and tell him how much I appreciate his service to this country and working to keep up all free and safe.

My family really hates cottage cheese. I want to make this recipe, it sound just yummy. Could you just use the Italian cheese blend in the bag? Does the recipe require the cottage cheese for the moisture for it to turn out. It will be really cheesy with the Italian cheese, but my 16 year old grandson would love it. Let me know please.
We all hate cottage cheese as well but no one has ever noticed that this has it in it. Combining it with the mozzarella cheese before assembling and then the fact that it melts will keep anyone from knowing, promise! However, you can substitute ricotta if you like. A lot of folks have told me that is what they did, but then other cottage cheese non-lovers have said like I did, no one noticed it! Hope you get to make it soon
I love my slow cooker and use it all year long. I am always looking for new things to make. Thanks for sharing this post. Come over and visit us. We have a wonderful chicken and dumpling recipe today.
would love your recipe for Italian Beef in crockpot PLEASE
Just a couple more weeks! Yay me!!! LOL it has

Country so he always says how lucky he is to be a Marine and do something he
Loves.:)

My favorite is slow cooker chicken teriyaki……I used snow peas and carrots……mmmmmmm. The cheesy chicken and rice is good, too. Oh, and the pork roast is to die for…….They are ALL good!
I just watched your video- you have no idea how much I adore you!!! {ok, not in a creepy way} You make me smile
Thanks for the amazing resource, my family always jokes that I am a little more “southern” for a Southern California girl- you make me want to move out that way! I think I’d fit right in!
Thanks again Christy for the yummy recipes
Much love from my PaRty of 5!
(Colleen)
I am so glad to hear that you are enjoying the recipes Colleen!! I bet you would fit right in, and would love it here!!
Love to see all your post. I have two boys who are very pickie eaters. I think they will like a lot of these. I fixed the easy creamed corn for us on Christmas. We all loved it.

Christy, I love my Crock Pot and all the delicious dishes I can cook i it. Thanks for these recipes. I made your Fried Chicken Planks and the Comeback Sauce the other night and my husband and I both love them.
I am so glad to hear that you liked them Janel!!!
Cristy.I just love Your Recipes, and site.
Now I have a Real Delima, I have been Diognosed with Seriously HIGH B/P.
I must make Some changes in the Way I cook and eat, Pertaining to
“SALT” and Sodium in my diet.
I have Read tons over the weekend to Learn that even Artificial Sweetners have SODIUM in them. such as SPLENDA, That was scarey.
Most all of Your Store bought canned Foods are Very High in Sodium ( SALT) also Prepared foods and Lunch Meats.
Is there a Chance that Possiblely you could incorporate Some SALT FREE dishes that TASTE good into your Newsletter?? TASTE is the SECRET. Nothing seems to have taste with out my salt.
Any Suggestions would be a great Help.
My biggest suggestion would be to try out a few of the salt substitutes until you find the one that you really like and then use that in place of the salt in recipes.
I love your recipes and stories. I can’t wait til it cools down a bit (currently almost 100 every day in good ol KY) so I can try the crockpot lasagna. looks so easy & yummy
Not only do I love the chili, beef stew, but also my meat loaf. I can form two loaves from 3 pounds of ground round and spices, but save one for another day and freeze!!!!
I think I’m the only person who hasn’t used a slow cooker to cook a dinner in!
