15 Easy Recipes for your Casserole Slow Cooker (1)

My new goal is to share more about the actual behind the scenes and the how to’s when it comes to slow cooking. I’ve been writing this blog for a couple of years now and slow cooking even longer (a lot longer!) than that and I feel like I now have enough experience under my belt and have tried enough products to give you my opinions as well as tips and tricks!

This Crock-Pot Casserole Crock is a great slow cooker to have in your line-up and is fairly inexpensive. It’s basically like your favorite 9×13 casserole dish but in slow cooker form. I can’t tell you how often I’ve used this now for all kinds of meals. It’s great for summer when you don’t want to heat up your whole house just to make dinner and it’s also great for Thanksgiving or any other holiday where oven space is in high demand. I havethis original model15 Easy Recipes for your Casserole Slow Cooker (2)and now there is a newer model15 Easy Recipes for your Casserole Slow Cooker (3)as well that is programmable. As long as you have the space to store it, I think this is a worthwhile investment!

  1. Hello! I was thrilled to find this resource. I’m loving my casserole slow cooker, though, like others, I didn’t use it much at first. My favorite thing recently was cooking grilled cheese sliders (to accompany a roasted tomato soup). This was for the backstage crew at our church to be eaten throughout two services. I fried them up traditionally using King’s Hawaiian rolls, in fours, then placed them in the casserole cooker, which was lined with lightly crumpled aluminum foil so the bottom layer wouldn’t burn. I was able to get two layers of slider grilled cheese, a total of 20 I think. They stayed warm and melted. THIS success led me to try the popular casserole sliders! An added bonus to the casserole cooker. :o)

  2. I have made candied sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner. I just used my basic recipe that I usually cook in the oven. I just kept an eye on the progress and it turned out very yummy. Unfortunately, I don’t remember exactly I cook it, since I was experimenting.

  3. Can you put a 9×13 or smaller foil pan with a freezer casserole in the casserole crockpot to cook?

    1. I’m not sure but that’s a great question. I would contact Crock-Pot directly to ask them!

    2. It won’t hold a 9×13 but I put frozen shepard’s pie and stuff like that in there and walk away. Put it in at lunch time or whenever and done when you’re ready to eat.

      1. Hi Sheila, how did it work for your frozen Shepard pie?!? Did you thaw the Shepard’s pie before cooking in crockpot??? The direction said not to put frozen food into casserole dish that it would crack,.. But I bought the casserole crockpot to do some freezing casseroles then making then in crockpot… Thank You

  4. Thank you for sharing these recipes! I’ve had my casserole slow cooker for almost 2 years and barely use it because I can’t find recipes. Not that I’ve been trying constantly, but I tried a few times and gave up. I’m going to give several of these a try – love all the veggies, and the ingredients in general like great!

    1. Yes, please let me know how they turn out for you! I use mine all the time!

  5. is there a cookbook especially for this 9x 13 crockpot that I could view the recipes before I buy it.? soo many times these cookbooks have about 7 or 8 recipes that you think sounds good and the rest are horrible. I bought one for a friend at Christmas and she loves it. I would like to have one too, but can’t find which company I bought it from. just remember it was specifically for this 9 x 13. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Reply

    1. I’m not sure of any specifically. Sorry I can’t be of more help with that!

      Reply

    2. I’d try recipiesthatcrock.com I have found many there, but also check out some crock pot cookbooks from the library. There are MANY traditional crock pot recipes out there that I have found are actually better suited to this casserole crock pot. Desserts, main & side dishes, lots of good variety. I have never regretted buying my casserole crock pot. 🙂

    3. Could you ask your friend for the title of the cookbook? That would help any search.
