It’s slow cooker week and I am excited! It’s finally settling into cooler temps for good, which I am one of the few who is happy about that. I love an easy dinner and the set-it-and-forget-it style is just the way to go. So, yes, there are a handful of slow cooker recipes in this week’s meal plan, plus plenty of others!
MONDAY
At the store, we’re having a stew meat sale so the most fitting way to start the week is with STEW! Of course, I had to include the most classic (and still delicious) stew recipes. But, if you’re feeling more spicy, bust out the slow cooker add in a few moroccan spices, chickpeas and end up with an amped up version of beef stew.
Option 1: Beef Stew
Option 2: Slow Cooker Moroccan Beef Stew
TUESDAY
For Taco Tuesday, we wanted to be sure to find a stew recipe that fit the bill and a slow cooker Mexican beef stew is just the thing! But, of course, a classic taco is part of the plan too.
Option 1: Slow Cooker Mexican Beef Stew
Option 2: Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Tacos
WEDNESDAY
Fall on a plate. Both of these pork options are warm, comforting and will quickly become family faves (at my house at least).
Option 1: Cinnamon Apple Pork Chops
Option 2: Apple Cider Pork Cutlets
THURSDAY
When you cook in a slow cooker, there is always plenty of leftovers!
FRIDAY
Fridays are for fish and this week we’re talking about cod. Two different, but still similar ways to enjoy this fish the best way it’s meant to be – fried. Option 1 is great to try with kids in the house and option 2 is the best way to enjoy an at-hoe fish fry.
Option 1: Homemade Cod Fish Sticks
Option 2: Wisconsin Beer Battered Cod
SATURDAY
I mentioned comforting food and these Saturday meals are exactly that. Two recipes full of meaty goodness – yes, I said it – ha! Enjoy this taste of home, with either recipe.
Option 1: Shepherds Pie
Option 2: Hearty Country Style Meatloaf
SUNDAY
I love Asian food and broccoli (yes, honestly, love broccoli). So these are both so tempting. Which one is your preference?
Option 1: Slow Cooker Asian Beef and Vegetables
Option 2: Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli
Enjoy your meals!
