Fall is the perfect time to put your slow cooker to work.
With the days getting shorter, you don’t want to get home to make dinner when it’s already dark out. It’s so nice to have dinner ready and waiting in the slow cooker.

Lots of school activities, sports practices and games, music lessons, dance class – have a slow cooker meal ready to enjoy for a quick meal before you head out the door.
I always love how easy dinner clean up is after a slow cooker meal, and it’s less hands on time cooking which is always a win in my book!

A list of slow cooker meals for fall has to start with chili.
In our house, chili gets on the regular menu in fall. It’s such a filling, easy, and warm meal to prepare after a cold day.

Serve it with tortilla chips, sour cream, and extra shredded cheese.

5. Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
Pulled pork is a great meal to make in the slow cooker. It’s super easy to make and the meat gets very tender.
I love to freeze the extra pulled pork for future meals when I don’t have much time to cook. Then, I will thaw the meat in the fridge overnight and reheat it in the microwave. You can use the extra meat for BBQ sandwiches or BBQ loaded baked potatoes, or even on a salad.
