Back to School Recipe Roundup ~ Crockpot All-Stars

I say “back to school” like I’m experienced at this, but this is my first year as a school mom.  Newbie at back to school, but SUPER experienced at dinners that need to be ready the second you arrive home and shouting stuff like  “the sink is not a basketball hoop!” during meal times.  So I feel like I’m coming at it from a different angle, but I still getcha.  

These are my go-to dinner favorites, starring my kitchen appliance BFF, the ol’ Crockpot.  All of these can go for 8 hours plus, so pop it in during the morning chaos, eat it during the evening chaos and use a slow cooker liner to save yourself some clean up and call the day a win!  And these are all low on ingredients and time, but high on taste.  Here are my go-to Crockpot dinners for busy nights …

Crockpot Beer Brats

Crockpot Beer Brats are an easy weeknight dinner that is ready to eat when you are.  Perfect for busy weeknights!  Side note, I recently heard brats in the Crockpot referred to as “brats in a hot tub” and will be referring to them as nothing else in my offline life :). Get the full recipe here.

Crockpot Taco Meat

Crockpot Taco Meat is a staple in our house.  Dump everything in the crockpot in the morning, and flavorful crockpot taco meat is ready when you are!  Forget to defrost your ground beef?  No problem — this works equally well with frozen or defrosted beef.  Get the full recipe here.

Captain’s Soup
