5 Crockpot Recipes Perfect for Fall

These slow cooker recipes are perfect for cooler weather because they keep the kitchen filled with aromatic meals at ready to eat temperatures. And these crockpot dishes satisfy even the youngest of tummies after a day of playing and romping in the fall leaves.

Shredded Chicken Tamales

If you’ve ever wanted to make Mexican tamales but were a bit intimated by the mystery behind tamales – the corn husk wrapper, the steaming process, and the spices and flavors, you’ve come to the right place. If you follow this recipe you’ll have delicious Shredded Chicken Tamales. I cooked the chicken in a crockpot.

These tamales are moist and packed with flavor thanks to a savory shredded chicken cooked in tomato sauce and paired with peppers, onions and olives. My husband devoured these and asked for more.  Shredded Chicken Tamales

 

This easy recipe for Hot Sauce Chili cooks up in a crockpot and is packed with flavor. If you prefer a lighter taste – just add only a drop or two of hot sauce. Served with cheese and chips, this dish is hearty and satisfies every person at the supper table!

5 Ingredient Carnitas Tacos

One way I try to keep our family on track is by planning meals at least a day in advance. By setting aside ingredients the night before, I can have a crock pot meal ready to go in the morning and set it and forget it until suppertime. Dinner is a special time for us and spending that time together as a family helps keep us all grounded. These Crock Pot Carnitas Tacos are SO easy to make and they’re perfect for keeping everyone happy. My kids love to assemble these tacos by themselves (and my boys skip the onions). 😉 

 

Crockpot BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches

I love hamburgers, hot dogs and all things grilled.  But you know, sometimes you just want a change. If you want a break from the grill and the oven, you’ll love these yummy Crockpot BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches. Try this BBQ Pulled Pork on sesame seed buns with fresh salty pickles. YUM!

Baked Tequila Lime Chicken Taquitos

These Baked Tequila Lime Chicken Taquitos are loved by all! A slice of lime and drizzles of salsa and shredded cheese make this the perfect meal. This dish is great for football parties too. I found the Tequila Lime seasoning at Whole Foods in front of the Seafood Section (in case you’re out shopping). So. totally. delicious…

Slow Coker Tools make Recipes Easier

If you’ve been working with forks to shred chicken beef, or pork, you’ll love these Pulled Pork Shredder Claws. They are BPA free and are the perfect tool for shredding meat. They’re dishwasher safe and take the hard work out of shredding meats cooked in the crockpot.

I’ve also included silicone tongs which are perfect for cooking with a crockpot. Oftentimes meats can fall apart in the slow cooker. These tongs make it easier to gather up the threads of deliciousness. Even better? These Oberhaus 9-Inch & 12-Inch Premium Black Silicone Tongs come in a variety of colors including: Black, Red, Green, and Pink.
