Things are about to get nuts! It’s the end of October and that means November is soon here and then December.  The last three months of the year just zoooooom by.  I have had lots of requests for slow cooker meals so I’m back for another go at it.  I gathered this round up with busy families in mind (it applies to everyone though!).  You know those days when you are back and forth, back and forth with too many places to be and don’t have time to stand over your stove and make a nice dinner?  Slow Cooker to the rescue.  These are kid and family friendly.

Slow Cooker Meals for busy families - a round up full of ideas to make crazy days easier. Compiled by www.thirtyhandmadedays.com

I’ve broken the recipes into categories to easily find what you’re looking for:
MEAT

  • Best Ever Pot Roast
  • Beef Stroganoff
  • Beef & Broccoli
  • Balsamic Beef
  • Cheesy Chicken Cattiatore
  • Skinny Chicken Tacos
  • Honey Garlic Chicken
  • Chicken Burrito Bowl
  • Mexican Stuffed Peppers

PASTA/CASSEROLES

  • Cheesy Ravioli
  • Shredded Beef Enchiladas
  • Vegetable Lasagna
  • Cheesy Cowboy Casserole
  • Mexican Lasagna
  • Baked Pasta
  • Chicken Ranch Pasta
  • Pizza Casserole

SOUPS

  • Tomato Basil 
  • Chicken Noodle Soup
  • Pumpkin Chili
  • Cheese Tortellini Chili
  • Beefy Nacho Soup

I took things one step further and created a clickable spreadsheet with meals for a month.  I spread out slow cooker meals and other simple meals that can be whipped up quickly for those busy days.

Awesome downloadable meal ideas with clickable links from www.thirtyhandmadedays.com
Download the link for the Month of Slow Cooker Recipe Ideas.
I created it in Google Docs (because I use them for everything!) but you should be able to export and use with Excel as well.
I color coded the doc –
Pink= meat
Yellow = casseroles and pastas
Green= soups
White = non slow cooker meals but easy to make

Let me know if you like this idea and I’ll create other meal plans in the future!

(Like Mickey!) I started 30days several years ago as my idea file. After 9 years and thousands of ideas, I realize I’ll never be able to check them all off my list.
