10 kid-approved slow cooker recipes

November 2, 2024 by lorrin sell 2 Comments

Last year, I started a run of over 20 days of strictly slow cooker recipes.  We had spent too many days eating junk in a row, and I was sick of not eating a real meal.

I love my crock pot and the fact that I can put a meal together in the morning, and have it ready by the time we are ready for dinner.  We are often swamped with after school activities and I just don’t have time to make dinner in the evening.

Here are 10 kid friendly slow cooker recipes!

Since the original crock pot project, I have had so many ask for recipe ideas, and rather than answering a bunch of emails, or digging up old post, I thought it would be nice to put some of my favorites in one place for you!   All of the recipes are super easy, and if I figured out a way to make them even easier, I included that as well.

They’re also kid-friendly which means you only have to make one meal for the whole family! *Happy dance*

Slow cooker must-haves

  • a programmable slow cooker (ours is a larger one that allows for transporting if we are taking it to a potluck dinner)
  • slow cooker liners, because seriously, this is the only way you could make something as easy as slow cooking even easier!!  clean up is a BREEZE!

 

 

    1.  Hearty Chicken Chili

       


  1. Chicken and dumplings

     

  2. Sesame Chicken

     

  3. Broccoli Cheese Soup

    I hope you found this round up useful.  Feeding kids can be difficult.  I am constantly making at least 3 options for my family.  I realize I should just tell them they get what they get, but I don’t.  When I make these dishes, everyone chows down!
