Looking for dinner time help? Check out these easy dump and go crock pot recipes to give you less kitchen prep tonight! 

I don’t know about you but at my house? Dinner time is often one of the most hectic times of day. Everyone is getting hungry and the kids are often in and out of the kitchen, asking when dinner is going to be ready. When I’m organized and plan ahead, dinner comes together much quicker – and that makes everyone happy. Especially a busy mom! Even when we are all at home, easy dump and go recipes give me one less thing to think about. It is nice to cross dinner off my list with little prep on my part!

I love my crock pot because it turns dinner into a hands off activity. Some of my favorite slow cooker recipes are those where I can simply dump everything in and let it cook. For those unfamiliar with slow cooking, they are often called dump and go recipes. Not a fancy name but a true one.

With these easy dump and go crock pot recipes, you can quickly start your dinner prep in the morning – so your dinner is ready when you are! Who doesn’t want that?

I’ve rounded up some of the best and easiest dump and go recipes to make dinner easier for all of us. Just click on the underlined title to be taken directly to the crock pot recipe of your choice.

Chicken Enchilada Soup by Gimme Some Oven

The flavor of this easy soup comes from enchilada sauce which seasons the chicken as it cooks in the crock pot.

Easy Taco Soup by Joyfully Thriving

You do have to cook the hamburger ahead of time but other than that, you simply open up a lot of cans and dump them in your crock pot to make a delicious taco soup.

Lasagna Tortellini Soup by Chelsea’s Messy Apron

This soup tastes like lasagna but gets the noodle flavor from tortellini – which also adds extra cheese!

Meatball Vegetable Soup by Family Freezer

You can use homemade meatballs or store bought meatballs if you want this to be extra easy. Either way, the meatballs are a fun addition to vegetable soup!

White Chicken Chili by Dear Crissy

For another dump and go recipe, try this white chicken chili – dumping the canned beans in at the end.

Slow Cooker Potato Soup by Joyfully Thriving

This potato soup starts with frozen hash browns and is the perfect hot soup for a cold winter day.

Beef on Rice by Creme de la Crumb

You do have to thicken the sauce at the end, while your rice is cooking, but otherwise you can dump the beef and let it cook until you are ready.

4 Ingredient Shredded Beef Sandwiches by Joyfully Thriving

This recipe can be served as a roast form (by ending carrots and potatoes) or shredded to serve on sandwiches. Either way, it is absolutely delicious!
