    53 Quick and Easy Crock Pot Recipes

    53 Quick and Easy Crock Pot Recipes with 5 Ingredients or Less - Breakfast, Dinner, Desserts, dips, bread...everything you can imagine!A few weeks ago one of my friends was asking me if I knew of any easy crock pot meals…easy as in, you probably have most of the ingredients on hand, and there aren’t a million things involved.  I have a few that I love on my blog, so I sent her those, but then I had some major inspiration to put together a huge list of super easy crock pot meals.  Don't have a crock pot? Don't worry! They are pretty affordable and definitely pay off with the time you save, and the convenience.  I love this Programmable Cook and Carry 6qt. Slow Cooker. It can hold a ton of food, and it is super easy to travel with and clean (the stoneware comes out, and is dishwasher safe!).

    There are so many recipes floating around on the internet for various crock pot meals, but sometimes when you actually check one out that looks good, you see there are 30 ingredients involved, and who has time for that when you are trying to save time and be efficient in the first place by using the crock pot and cooking ahead? 

    That’s where this list comes in! I have put together a list of 53 super easy crock pot recipes and most have less than 5 ingredients (I am not counting spices and basic ingredients that most people have in their pantry…like flour and salt).  There are several main dishes, sides, breakfast, and dessert recipes….something for everyone!

        Cynthia, I would try either using beef broth or red wine vinegar. You could probably leave it out all together w/o a sub if you wanted. Thanks for stopping by!

      I made the Teriyaki Chicken recipe on Monday and it was DELICIOUS! My only recommendation is to double the recipe if you have a family of 4 or more. I have a 6'4 teen son along with my 17 yo daughter and husband and it wasn't really enough...so next time I will double up everything. Thanks for sharing!

        Glad to hear, Suzanne! That is also a good tip about doubling! For some reason whenever I cook in the crock, I always think it's going to be an enormous amount, and then it turns out way less than I expect. I think because I am deceived by the size of the crock itself! I am happy to hear you liked the recipe though!

      This is an amazing round-up! Wow! I just got married last month and we received an awesome crock-pot, but I've been too intimidated to use it! With fall here now, and this phenomenal round-up of simple recipes I'm going to have to give it a try! Thanks so much for sharing this!
