Fall is a season that screams slow cooker to me.  During the summer, the heat outweighs my desire for comfort food and one-pot simplicity, but as the temperature drops, the days shorten, and my desire for comfort food spikes, my slow cooker spends more days on our counter and significantly fewer days stashed in the cabinet.

I have a small handful of regular slow cooker meals in my rotation at home, but I know that most moms, myself included, are always looking for short cuts when it comes for dinner prep, while our families scream for variety. So I spent a long weekend scouring the internet, and guys, there are so many delicious recipes out there that look incredible. I clicked a million or so links and cherry-picked 90 of them. They all look delicious, most are fairly no-fuss, most require minimal steps before “dump ingredients in crock pot and turn on,” and most involve ingredients that you can find easily at the grocery store.
