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.

  • Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli – Renee’s Kitchen Adventures
  • Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy – The Magical Slow Cooker
  • Slow Cooker Beef Brisket – Life is but a Dish
  • Slow Cooker Turkey and Brown Rice Soup – The Magical Slow Cooker

When I’m headed out the door in the morning I just dump all the ingredients in the slow cooker, set the time and go! I think you will find a few recipes that will become favorites.

Sides to serve with dump slow cooker recipes:

These recipes certainly are easy but some do need sides with them, here are my suggested side dishes:

  • steamed white rice (use a rice cooker!)
  • dinner rolls and butter
  • salad mix and dressing
  • corn chips for the Mexican and chili recipes
  • steam in the bag veggies
  • cornbread (use a mix such as Krusteaz)

      Can you prep and freeze these to have on hand?

        Every recipe would be different. For instance, potatoes don’t do well in the freezer nor does dairy.

      Hello Sarah, if I only make half of the.. slow cooker easy pot roast, do I half the cooking time.

        No, make the whole order and you will have delicious leftovers. You will want leftovers and the flavors all meld together and the dish is even more delicious the next day. Making half the order will ruin the dish. Cooking half the time will also ruin the dish.

      Thanks Sarah for the great recipes. I enjoy and regularily use your cook book and weekly recipes. Having just lost my wife I am under pressure to get good recipes with some variety. My old 12 or so are getting quite old. It is nice to have an angel looking over my shoulder

      Sarah, are you the one who posted a slow cooker recipe for bone-in pork chops with penne added in? It was like a fast dump recipe. I cannot find it anywhere now and don’t remember all the ingredients, It had a can of tomato sauce and another tomato product as well as water, The chops were seared prior to being put in the cooker. If you can help me with this recipe,I would be so thankful.

      Recipes are quick and easy. Haven’t tried them all yet. my only downer on your website is the very annoying “build a bear ad that pops up on every recipe” Looking forward to more recipes
