These are twelve of my favorite crockpot recipes. I have been making each of them for years; they are all foolproof and absolutely delicious. They're your favorites too; by voting with your clicks you're telling me which recipes you like. And here's a tip: if you regularly change recipes as you cook, remember to write down the changes! I made Easy Sauerbraten once and changed it. Then I forgot to write down the changes and it took me months to figure out what I had added to make it so good (it was the sour cream...).

For more crockpot information, see Crockpot 101 and all Busy Cooks Crockpot Recipes. And share your favorites with us on the Busy Cooks Forum! You never know when you'll find a recipe that will become a winner with your family.

Favorite Crockpot Recipes

  • Crockpot Apricot Chicken
    This delicious recipe uses sweet and tart apricots with dry onion soup mix and Russian dressing for a really amazing flavor. Serve it with rice or pasta to soak up all the sauce!
  • Easy Crockpot Sauerbraten
    I made real Sauerbraten for the first time about 9 years ago. And it was fabulous! But this recipe has the same taste, with much less work.
  • Sour Cream and Bacon Chicken
    There's just something about the combination of chicken and bacon that is so satisfying. And this recipe's creamy and luscious sauce is perfect over hot cooked rice or pasta!
  • Beach Boy's Pot Roast
    Beach Boy hosts Cooking with Beach Boy chat every Sunday night. Try his famous and super-easy recipe, then come to chat and tell us about it!
  • Crockpot Chicken Supreme
    This is by far the most popular recipe ever here at Busy Cooks. There's something about the combination of tangy swiss cheese, tender chicken, smoky bacon, and the rich soups that just hits the spot.
  • Crockpot Beef Stroganoff
    Beef Stroganoff is still one of my personal favorites. In fact, it's cooking away in my kitchen right now! The carrots and apple juice add a wonderful depth and sweetness to this non-traditional recipe.
  • Crockpot Pork with Cabbage
    I love this easy recipe; the combination of pork with onions and sweet red cabbage is just spectacular. It's a meal in one, too.
  • Slow Cooker Chili
    Chili is one of the first recipes I ever made in the crockpot. I love this one because it's mild and has lots and lots of beans. Serve it with cheese crackers for a wonderful dinner on a snowy night.
  • Slow Cooker Pot Roast Dinner
    There's nothing more heart-warming than pot roast. And when pot roast is cooked in the slow cooker - well, it's melting, tender, succulent - I can't think of enough good adjectives to describe it!
  • Wild Rice Stuffed Turkey Breast
    It's amazing how just five ingredients combine for this wonderful recipe. The dried cranberries are tart and sweet; combined with the nutty and savory wild rice they make a fabulous stuffing.
  • Three Bean Cassoulet
    Beans are so good for you. And your family will enjoy this hearty, easy meatless recipe, made savory with onion, bay leaf, and diced tomatoes.
  • Crockpot Lasagna
    This wonderful easy recipe lets you cook lasagna right in the slow cooker - with uncooked noodles! Serve it with hot melty garlic bread for a perfect accompaniment.
