Dump and Go Slow Cooker Recipes

This collection of dump and go slow cooker recipes will keep the week running smoothly!

Nothing beats a meal that requires little time to prepare and still tastes delicious.

What Are Dump and Go Recipes?

  • Dump-and-go recipe recipes are just as the title suggests. They are recipes where the ingredients are dumped in the crock pot and then simmered for a couple of hours.
  • They require little attention, no stirring, no mixing, no browning. After some time, just lift the lid and a meal is ready for serving.
  • What could be better than a warm meal ready and waiting for when you get home from a long day?

Can You Freeze Dump and Go Recipes?

Some of these recipes are perfect for freezing. However, this would depend on the ingredients. For instance, ingredients with cream or potatoes don’t freeze well. But otherwise, yes, there are many freezing options in the following list.

Not only are these Slow Cooker BBQ Beef Sandwiches a crowd pleaser they’re really easy to make! The great thing cooking meat in a slow cooker is that the less expensive cuts of meat tenderize the best and don’t dry out (which is why pulled pork is always so good in the slow cooker)! The low and slow cooking method gives you beef so tender you can easily shared it with a fork.
