Have you heard of crockpot “dump” meals before? Where you literally just dump ingredients in a slow cooker and let it cook? Then you come home to a warm and delicious meal all ready and waiting for you.  That sounds pretty perfect to me.

I love how easy crockpot meals are and how everything tastes so good when it cooks slowly all day long.

These are some of my favorite and super easy crockpot dump meals!

23 Easy Crockpot Dump Meals To Make Your Life Easier

So, these aren’t really recipes. More like a list of things to dump in the crockpot. I hardly ever use a recipe. It seems to take so much longer and so many dishes. To save time, just throw in the main ingredients, some seasonings, and a little liquid if needed.

For the meat, you can either cook it ahead of time or let it cook in the crockpot. Some meals I prefer cooking the meat ahead and some I prefer cooking the meat in the crockpot.

A few thoughts on Crockpots…

I have the plain old Crockpot that has the low, high, and warm settings and a smaller Crockpot when we are just cooking an entree for the 2 of us. If you don’t have a slow cooker yet, I would recommend getting one with a timer shut off – so you don’t overcook your food!

Just make sure to always add enough liquid to keep everything juicy.

And Crockpot liners are one of the best invention ever! Stop scrubbing your slow cooker and just throw the bag away after dinner. Seriously, could it get any easier?
