Now, let’s get to it and take a look at these slow cooker recipes for kids
.
1. Trisha Yearwood Crockpot Mac and Cheese
Trisha
Yearwood may be a famous country music singer, but the true vocation of women is to cook, and if you don’t believe me, try their Crockpot macaroni and cheese.
It only takes 10 minutes to prepare, and all you’ll need is macaroni, evaporated milk, whole milk, butter, cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, and cooking spray.
It’s the creamiest, cheesiest and most delicious cheese macaroon you’ve ever had, especially if you add a little chives once it’s ready
. 2. Crockpot Chicken & Rice Speaking of creamy and cheese, this
Crockpot
chicken and rice is
an equally delicious dream come true
.
The rice is fluffy and tasty, and the chicken is tender and succulent
.
It’s wonderfully flavored with herbs and garlic, not to mention incredibly filling.
Plus, it
only takes 10 minutes of preparation before you dump it into the Crockpot, and you can’t beat that.
3. Crockpot
Pizza Casserole
If your kids are addicted to pizza, they might prefer this Crockpot pizza casserole
.
It has plenty of cheese, garlic, and pizza sauce, and thanks to the Italian sausage, pepperoni, and ground beef, it’s also incredibly filling
.
You can make everything with less than ten ingredients, and the preparation time is only 5 minutes!
4. Clay Meat Tacos De crockpot
Okay, so you won’t actually make
beef tacos in your slow cooker, but you’ll make the meat for them, and that’s the important part
.
What I like most about this recipe is the homemade taco seasoning, which is far superior to any seasoning package you’d buy at the store.
It takes a few minutes (about 15) to put together, but it’s worth the effort.
5. Slow cooker Ragu for Kids
To this day, I still remember coming home from school to smell Ragu (the homemade sauce, not the jar you buy at the store) cooking in the kitchen
.
Those were some of my favorite dinners of all time when I was a kid. This recipe brings all that joy and joy back to life.
The meat is juicy and well seasoned, and the herbs, carrots, celery, garlic and tomatoes make the sauce full-bodied and tasty
.
No matter what kind of noodles you use, your kids will love this tasty meal
.

. Crockpot Ham and Swiss Sliders
Cooking these sliders on the Crockpot imbues them with a lot of flavor, gives the ham the perfect texture, and makes the cheese sticky, melted, and incredibly delicious
.
The best part, however, is the coverage
.
Made from butter, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, Worcestershire, salt and pepper, it turns regular ham and cheese into something much better
.
7. Crockpot Chicken & Sauce Five
Ingredients; 5 Minutes of Prep, 5 Hours to Cook: Everything about this chicken and sauce recipe is easy to remember. All
you’ll need is chicken breast, chicken soup cream, chicken sauce mix, water (or chicken broth), and steamed rice to serve
.
It’s delicious and kids will gobble it
up.
8. Slow-cooker cheeseburger
soup and bacon There’s
nothing tastier and more comforting in the colder months of the year than soup, and this cheeseburger soup and bacon is a favorite among kids
.
It’s packed with dense, filling ingredients, such as reddish potatoes, onions, carrots, ground beef, bacon, green onions, pepper jack cheese, and more.
It is thick, thick, herby, and has only a hint of spices. I’m not sure who will love him more, you or your children.
9. Slow-cooked
macaroni and beef You can always make macaroni and beef with
a Hamburger Helper meal kit, but why do that when you can make healthy, enjoyable macaroni and beef with just 10 minutes of preparation? Macaroni
becomes soft and tomato, and ground beef, herbs, and vegetables give the whole dish the most fantastic flavor.
10. Paula Deen’s Crockpot Potato Soup
This six-ingredient potato soup is thick, creamy and super appetizing
.
Whether you serve it alone or top it with green onions, cheese, and bacon, everyone in your family is sure to love it
.
After all, it is 100% approved by Paula Deen. 11
.
Slow Cooker Tater Tot Cazuela
Chees, fleshy and stuffed full of tater tots: This easy-to-make casserole is every child’s dream meal, especially if they enjoy Mexican food
.
In addition to all the other ingredients, you’ll also be adding black beans, corn, salsa, green chiles, taco seasoning, enchilada sauce, and cilantro
.
It gives it a very Mexican atmosphere
.
12. Crockpot Kid-Friendly Turkey Chili
I love soups in fall and winter, but nothing comes close to a bowl of hot, thick chili
.
And whether you make it spicy or mild, your kids are sure to love this turkey chili.
This recipe is for a non-bean version,
but if you’re like me and think chili isn’t chili without the beans, you can always add a can of beans
.
It has an impressive variety of vegetables, and is full of protein and flavor
.
“Mississippi Pot Roast” />
13. Mississippi Pot Roast
All
you’ll need to make this tender Mississippi pot roast that crumbles in your mouth is chuck roast, pepperoncini, pepperoncini juice, au jus sauce mix, whey ranch dressing, salt and pepper. Pepperoncinis
give the roast an amazing and complex flavor and make it even juicier than a traditional roast. And don’t worry, it won’t make it spicy.
14. Ziti
baked
Crockpot If you love baked ziti but hate waiting for it to bake in the oven, try making it in your slow cooker next time
.
The ingredients are mainly the same: penne pasta, tomato sauce, pasta sauce, ricotta cheese, eggs, basil, parmesan and mozzarella
.
The difference is that it only takes 20 minutes to prepare.
Then, you can leave it alone to do its own thing for the next 2 or 3 hours. It’s super convenient and just as delicious.
15. Slow cooker enchilada casserole Whether you enjoy this enchilada casserole
the night you make it or two or three days later, it’s still just as tasty.
I’m a gigantic fan of foods that taste great a day or two later
.
And for that reason, I make this enchilada casserole probably a lot more often than I should.
Thanks to onions, peppers, garlic and more, it tastes so much, and you can never go wrong with that
.
16. Slow Cooker Sloppy Joes
If you’re not making your Sloppy Joe beef in the slow cooker, you’re doing everything wrong. There is no easier or more convenient way to do it.
Simmering it helps fix all that flavor, and makes the sandwiches absolutely decadent that melt in the mouth
.
17. Coca-Cola Pulled Pork
Of course, if you’re not a fan of Sloppy Joe sauce, you can always make these Coca-Cola shredded pork sandwiches
.
They’re rich, smoky, and full of flavor, and you can make them with just eight ingredients, most of which are spices (cayenne, black pepper, chopped onion, garlic, etc.).
18. Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan Sliders and Parmesan
chicken
may seem to go together, but after a single bite, you’ll see
that they do.
They’re easy to make; all you’ll need are chicken breasts, marinara, garlic, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, wheat and mozzarella buns or provolone, whichever you prefer
.
19. Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes
These potatoes are soft, fluffy and extremely cheesy
.
You’ll make them with just eight ingredients (plus salt and pepper to taste) with just 5 minutes of preparation time
.
Aside from cheese, most of the flavor comes from onions, garlic powder, and onion powder. They are very earthy and with garlic, and children will love them.
20. Crockpot Chicken
and Meatballs
You can’t have any Crockpot or slow cooker recipe lists without adding
chicken and dumplings to it. And this chicken and
dumplings are some of the best.
In fact, they’re more like a combination of chicken and dumplings and chicken pie (without the pastry), thanks to the addition of peas, carrots, and celery soup cream
.
You’ll make the dumplings with refrigerated cookies, and they’re so soft and amazing. They will almost crumble on your tongue.
21. Shells stuffed with clay pot
You will make these giant shells tastier by filling them with spinach and three types of cheese and covering them with pasta sauce and lots of herbs and seasonings
.
They take about 4 hours to cook, but the process is simple and requires very little work on your part. In addition, they will make your whole house smell spectacular.
22. Crockpot Spaghetti Casserole
Kids love spaghetti, and that’s almost a universal truth
.
The only thing better than spaghetti is the spaghetti casserole, which also includes lots of sticky cheese
.
The herbs give it the traditional, rich Italian flavor, and the ground baboon makes it filling enough to keep you full for hours
.
Of course, another great thing about this recipe is that you can easily make it vegetarian just by leaving aside the meat.
23. Slow Cook Lasagna
Here’s another great Italian dish that is made much easier by throwing it into the slow cooker. It is also very customizable.
The recipe calls for Italian sausage or ground beef, pasta sauce, unboiled lasagna noodles, ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, baby spinach and fresh basil
.
However, you can adjust that recipe the way you want and still make it in the slow cooker.
If you want to take out the meat and use plenty of garden vegetables for vegetarian lasagna, you can.
If you want to make more than one cavatini type meal with pepperoni and ham, you can do it too. Either way, your kids are sure to love it.
24. Chicken with slow cook honey
This tender and delicious chicken has a distinctly Asian touch. Thanks to honey, soy sauce, onions and garlic, it is slightly sweet and salty.
It tastes best when served over rice, but you can eat it alone, on a bun, with steamed vegetables, or any other way you want
.
25. If
you’ve never tried crack chicken, let me tell you right now that it’s 100% addictive. They don’t call it “crack chicken” for no reason, after all.
Until you’ve tried it,
it’s almost impossible to believe that something with just six simple ingredients can taste so good
.
Still, there’s something about this spicy, cheesey dish that’s exceptional
.
You’ll be glad it’s so easy to make because once you’ve tried it the first time, you’ll want to do it over and over again.
