Have you heard of Crocktober? I don\u2019t know who actually started it. I just know that many food bloggers use it as an opportunity to share their favorite Crockpot \/ slow cooker recipes during the month of October

Since I love to use my slow cooker during the fall and winter, I want to share some of my favorite slow cooker dishes too. I especially appreciate that these easy recipes don\u2019t require a lot of \u201chands-on\u201d time.

The main thing that I have to do is make sure that the slow cooker is actually on. (I\u2019ll admit that I have forgotten to push the start button a couple of times in the past!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy Slow Cooker Recipes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/a> Chicken, Spinach and Portobello Soup (or Stew!)<\/a> <\/strong>
The mushrooms are so \u201cmeaty\u201d flavored that you could actually leave out the chicken. I won\u2019t though because \u201cmy guys\u201d refuse to eat vegetarian meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Crazy Easy Crockpot Chicken<\/a><\/strong>
This recipe is so simple that I feel a bit embarrassed when people rave about it and ask, \u201cCan I get the recipe?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Crockpot chili: Two-step chicken chili\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>
Since I prefer tomato-based chilies, I love this tomato-based chicken chili recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Easy Gluten-Free Slow Cooker Turkey Chili<\/a><\/strong>
I thought that my stovetop chili recipe was easy. This gluten-free slow cooker turkey chili is even easier! (I like to make it for large football game-watching gatherings.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Easy Slow Cooker Turkey Legs with Vegetables<\/a><\/strong>

6. How to cook black beans in a crockpot<\/a><\/strong>
Canned black beans are fine, but I love cooking them in the crockpot best of all. It\u2019s simple and quick (in regards to the actual amount of time that you are handling the beans).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
