3 Comforting Crock Pot Recipes for Fall

Get out your slow cooker for easy and hearty stews, chowder and more.

Crock pot beef stew.

Fall is the air. I love the change of the seasons and welcome the transitions as leaves change color and temps start to dip. Like many others, I find cozy comfort in a warm cup of tea or a hearty bowl of soup.

The coronavirus pandemic has more people cooking at home; this fall, many will turn to their crock pot for easy and efficient meals. The beauty of crock-pot cooking? You can make a delicious dinner by throwing the ingredients together in the morning. Then, let them meld together and work their magic to form a flavorful dish that’s hearty and healthy–and perfect for those busy weekday nights! (Added bonus: your house will smell delicious all day long, too.) Read on for three of my favorites:
