Today Iโ€™m excited to share 22 of my familyโ€™s favorite crockpot dinners. The recipes I make on repeat once the weather turns chilly. Youโ€™ll find everything from comforting chicken and rice to delicious pot roast, creamy pastas, comforting soups, and of course, my very best chili recipes. Thereโ€™s even a recipe for crockpot mashed potatoes (so good for Thanksgiving, which is just around the corner!).

Red Wine Braised Pot Roast | halfbakedharvest.com

I had so much fun putting this list together. I was reminded how many of these dishes I need to make again because theyโ€™re that delicious.

Everyone here knows I adore a good set-it-and-forget-it crockpot dinner. Over the years, Iโ€™ve shared so many slow-cooked meals on the site. Some of them have even become the most-loved recipes weโ€™ve ever posted. And for good reason: when life gets busy (which it definitely is right now!), nothing beats tossing everything into the crockpot, walking away, and coming back to a cozy dinner waiting for you. Thereโ€™s nothing more comforting to me than a big pot of chili slow-cooking all day on a fall or winter afternoon.

Iโ€™d love to know which recipes youโ€™re most excited to try. Are you a soup-and-chili person like me, or do you love a classic pot roast or short ribs? And if thereโ€™s a new crockpot recipe you want to see, leave a comment below. Iโ€™m always looking for fresh ideas as we head into the holiday season!
