Are you looking for kid-approved crockpot recipes with easy prep? Whether you’re facing a busy week, summer heat, or you just need some extra time, slow cooker recipes can save the day when you need a simple, quick way to get dinner on the table without going out to eat.
I love that these recipes are so easy to put together. They’ve been a real lifesaver for us on busy days when I don’t have time to cook dinner. On nights when the kids have activities in the evening, I try to cook with our crockpot so we’ll have something to eat when we get home.
If we end up having leftovers, these crockpot meals re-heat nicely, and make a great lunch for the next day.

I love baked slow-cooker Teriyaki chicken. Baked chicken in a slow cooker for busy people! Put the chicken on in the morning, and have golden brown baked chicken for dinner. I made this for the first time today, it was AWESOME! I did make some changes, I used a whole chicken and stuffed the cavity with one onion cut up in quarters and 3 cloves of crushed garlic. I also used poultry seasoning, garlic powder, and paprika to season the chicken with. I used the foil balls, but put 2 cups of chicken broth on the bottom, and put the slow cooker on high for two hours and then turned it on low for 5 hours and it came out. Great! Try and enjoy your meal!
Sounds yummy and fancy!
