4 Slow Cooker Suppers That Do the Work For You


Hi friends! 👋

The mornings finally turned cool here, and you know what that means. The slow cooker comes out of the cupboard and pretty much lives on my counter until spring.

We had a fun Friday night around here too. We took our daughter to see her favorite artist in concert, and watching her sing and dance along to every single song was the best part of the whole night. I barely watched the stage. I just watched her.

Between busy weekends like that one and everything else going on, I've been leaning hard on my slow cooker. So this week I pulled together four slow cooker suppers that do all the work while you do something else.

Here's what's cooking this week:

🥩 Slow Cooker Rump Roast - This is the one. Tender, fall-apart beef with potatoes and carrots, and your whole house is going to smell incredible by about hour four.

🍲 Slow Cooker Meatball Stew - Hearty, filling, and perfect for the first chilly night of the season. My kids ask for this one by name.

🌽 Slow Cooker Chicken Corn Chowder - Creamy, cozy, and about as easy as it gets. Serve it with some crusty bread and you're done.

🥪 Slow Cooker Maid-Rites - The loose meat sandwich that's been feeding Midwest families since the 1920s. Simple, messy, and always a hit.

Want more? My whole collection of slow cooker dinners is right here.

What's the one thing you always make in your slow cooker? Hit reply and tell me. I'm always looking for a new one to try.

Thank you for being here. It means more than you know.

Warmly,

❤️ Heidi (aka Lulu)

Hi friends! 👋 My daughter and I marched in the parade for our local fall festival this weekend! Then we went back to the festival today to wander around. It was so cozy and fun. We came home with caramel kettle corn and a few other goodies, and I'm not sure how much of it will survive until Monday. After a day like that, all I want is a big bowl of soup and a warm slice of homemade bread. So this week I'm sharing two of each. Mix and match however you like! 🥣 Classic Minestrone Soup Loaded...

Hi friends! It's finally fall, and I couldn't be happier about it! The mornings are cool, the heat is gone, and I've been dying to turn my oven back on. Sweatshirt weather is my favorite time of year, and I've already started thinking about what I'm making for Thanksgiving. Here's what's new and updated this week: 🌽 Corn Pudding: NewIt's creamy, a little sweet, and easy to make. It's a side dish that everyone loves.

Hi friends! 👋 We went to the county fair the other night, and I think that's officially the start of fall for me. We saw all the animals. The goats, the cows, the bunnies with ears longer than my arm, and my friend's llamas, who were looking very proud of themselves. We even saw kangaroos and a porcupine! Then we ate our way through the fairgrounds, because what's the point of going if you don't come home a little too full? My husband got a deep-fried strawberry shortcake, which might be the...
