Easy Dump and go recipes are my favorite way to make a quick slow cooker recipe and be out the door in a hurry.
Dump and Go Slow Cooker Recipes to get you out the door quicker in the morning! These easy recipes require no browning of the meat, so no extra dirty pot in the morning!
Should I brown the meat before adding it to the slow cooker?
What’s great about dump and go slow cooker recipes is you don’t need to brown the meat. I don’t like to dirty an extra pan when I’m in a hurry.
It’s perfectly fine not to brown your meat in the slow cooker though you can if you have time and prefer to do it.
Some say it adds extra flavor to brown the meat first but I can’t taste a real difference. I make dinner almost every night of the week and it’s nice to have a few recipes that are more hands-off.
Here are my favorite 25 Dump and Go Slow Cooker Recipes:
- Slow Cooker Root Beer Chicken – The Magical Slow Cooker
- Slow Cooker Chicken Tetrazzini – The Magical Slow Cooker
- Seasoned Chicken, Green Beans and Potatoes – The Magical Slow Cooker
- Slow Cooker Ham and Cheese Soup – Real Housemoms
- Slow Cooker Tuscan Chicken Stew – Sweet Peas and Saffron
If you have no extra time in the morning to be chopping vegetables, I often chop the vegetables the night before and put in them a ziplock bag. If you want to cut potatoes ahead of time, I suggest putting them in the ziplock bag with water to cover so they won’t brown. Drain the water off in the morning.

Thank you for all you do! You don’t exactly help my weight loss goals, but I so like the slow cooker
recipes.
Thank you Stephan, I love making these recipes.
Everyone of these recipes sound wonderful! I want to try most of them!
This is great! I have been making roast, potato and carrot meals for years in my slow cooker because it was so easy and could be setup and ready when we had finished our day. What I have been looking for lately were other basic recipes for my cooker. I believe this site will fill that need.
I have two large 3-ring-binders. The first is for recipes I have collected that sounded interesting and thought I might try someday. The second is for those I have tried and the family enjoyed enough that the recipe became a keeper. Well, I think I am about to add another binder, one for just slow cooked meals. Being in a wheelchair now, cooking on a stove top has become much harder! Thanks for all these usable, everyday ideas for slow cooked meals!
I signed up to this site recently … but I would like to unsubscribe and I cannot see how to do it. Would someone please kindly point me in the right direction … thank you in advance.
Just so you know … reason for wanting to unsubscribe is that I am a veggie and there are no (well not that I have seen) veggie recipies … its all very meat based. Which is fine … but not for me.
Hi. If you go to the top of the page to the search box and type in vegetarian you will find vegetarian recipes. If you feel these are still not for you and want to unsubscribe you will probably have to do that through the emails she sends you.
Always cook extra in the crock pot….leftovers for breakfast or lunch…. tastes better the next day…. If it drys out, add some chicken or beef stock while reheating…Luv Sarah’s recipes!
I was going to subscribe to your Slow cooker which i’d like…. But if you can’t unsubscribe by pushing a button then I won’t try it…..
Disappointed….
There is an unsubscribe button on every email.
I thought adding stock to leftovers was my trick!
Seafood lovers are at a disadvantage when it comes to slow cooker recipes, but I think I can solve one dilemma. This weekend, I’m going to make the “Slow Cooker Bang Bang Chicken” recipe WITHOUT THE CHICKEN! My only problem will be to figure out when I should add the shrimp! Any ideas out there?
Add the shrimp 15 minutes before you serve it. You don’t want to over cook the shrimp. If you really want to control how cooked the shrimp is, sauté them in a frying pan and add just before serving.
Great recipes
Use seafood stock or cream of shrimp soup. Add the shrimp after to put the slow cooker to off. At 45 seconds they are done. After 60 seconds, they begin to get rubbery
Hard copy book ,
hope you decide to Publish one. I would buy it.
Thank you so much.
