You already know that I absolutely adore casseroles. I love slow cooker recipes for much the same reason. I mean, it really doesn’t get easier than tossing a bunch of stuff in the Crock Pot and walking away, does it?
Eating a paleo diet really lends itself to Crock Pot cooking, unlike casseroles which usually have some kind of a starch as their base ingredient. There are a bajillion recipes on the web for paleo slow cooker recipes – some amazing, some not so much. It’s kind of a crap shoot, but I’ve definitely built up a collection of my favorites.
On any given Saturday, there’s likely a slow cooker (or 3) simmering away on my counter in preparation for the week ahead. One of my most favorite things about cooking in a Crock Pot is leaving the house before it really gets going and coming home to delicious smelling food. Did I mention easy?
My friend Megan’s meal plan for THE ENTIRE MONTH OF MARCH (yes I’m jealous) reminded me that I really need to get back to it. I’ve been such a slacker lately and now I have no excuse – just a whole bunch of delicious ideas about what’s for dinner.

We’re not paleo, as you well know, but I do love a good crock pot meal! Adding these to next month’s menu!

Thanks for the recipes, I just bought an Instapot and am wondering how many crock recipes I can cook super fast in my new kitchen tool.
Jessica Ferrara says
I don’t think I know what an Instapot is. Off to Google it.
Mike says
I don’t know if I have a bad slow cooker or what, but everything I make always turns out dried out

Hmmm . . . that’s odd. You could definitely try more liquids, lower cooking temp or less time. I love my slow cooker so much, it’s worth a shot for EASY meals!
Mike says
I have heard of using fattier cuts of meat. Do you do that or notice a difference?

Jessica Ferrara says
I haven’t noticed that so much as the liquid or cooking temp/time.
Anna says
I just printed the Pork Chop recipe. That sounds so so good! Thanks for sharing these.
