Easy Fall Crockpot Meals
Just one note on Crockpots vs Slow cooker : A crockpot is a type / brand of slow cooker, so you can use your crockpot for recipes labelled slow cooker too. But not every slow cooker is a crock pot.
Crockpots generally have ceramic or porcelain pots, and get heated from the whole “crock” container. While most slow cookers have a metal pot and get heated from the bottom element, which means they typically take longer to heat up.
1. Crockpot Pork Roast
Crockpot Pork Roast is the ultimate hands-off dinner. No need to pre-cook — just toss in your boneless pork shoulder (or butt!) with carrots, onions, and garlic, and let the slow cooker work its magic.
You’ll end up with tender, melt-in-your-mouth pork and a rich, flavorful gravy that’s perfect for spooning over everything.
Plus, with enough to serve 6-8, you’ll have plenty of leftovers for delicious pork sandwiches the next day.
