Each week we highlight favorite slow cooker recipes from the hosts — Leah from Beyer Beware, Liz from The Farmwife Cooks, and Cris from Recipes That Crock — plus a selection of standout recipes from the previous week’s link-up. The link-up at the bottom of each post builds into a growing, virtual crock pot cookbook every week, making it easy to find tried-and-true slow cooker ideas for busy days.

Now How About This Week’s Recipes?!

This week the hosts and a few friends have shared a lineup of delicious slow cooker recipes. Since we didn’t have a link-up last week, we asked some blogger friends for recommendations — and they sent us a mouthwatering set of dishes. Highlights this week include Crock Pot Mississippi Chicken, Italian Beef Sandwiches, Crock Pot Ranch Pork Chops, Crock Pot Cauliflower and Cheese, Slow Cooker Swedish Meatballs, and a Slow Cooker German Chocolate Spoon Cake.

These recipes cover comforting dinners and a decadent dessert, so you’ll find options for family dinners, potlucks, and meal prepping for the week.
