When fall rolls around it's all about comfort food---the cozy meals and aromas that fill the home. I especially like pulling out my slow cooker and letting it do all the work for tender meats and flavorful soups. A few years ago I made a cookbook for the graduating high school seniors at church loaded with easy slow cooker recipes that I had on my site as well as from the ladies at church. It was a big hit and I ended up ordering an additional 100 copies for the ladies to send to their college age children and grandchildren. Today I'm sharing the recipes that I submitted for the cookbook, plus a few more that I have created in the years following. 25 of my favorite easy slow cooker recipes and even included a few desserts too! Click the title of each recipe to be taken to the post for a printable recipe. Most include step by step videos too!
