Easy Delicious Crockpot Turkey Breast
Peyton Beckwith
This set-and-forget slow cooker turkey breast recipe is perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to go through the hassle of cooking a whole bird. The cooking liquid even transforms into a flavorful gravy with the addition of just a few ingredients.
“This easy, delicious Crockpot turkey breast is ideal for smaller holiday gatherings. The convenience of boneless turkey breast and the slow cooker cannot be beat; you’ll have plenty of time to make the sides.” —Nicole McLaughlin
Homemade Sloppy Joes

Sloppy joes are crowd-pleasing comforts that never go out of style. Chef John’s version gains texture from diced onion and bell pepper, and it’s coated in a sweet-tangy sauce infused with Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, and cayenne.
“I was surprised to find that Chef John’s recipe is the same one i’ve used for many many years. I love it. Instead of cayenne, I use chili powder.” —Gelia Chappell
German Hamburgers (Frikadellen)
Frikadellen—thick, pan-fried meat patties—are popular in German and Danish cuisines. Allrecipes community member Amy taught her how to make this recipe, which features a mixture of ground pork and beef, chopped parsley, and Hungarian paprika.
“made per recipe. it was really really good. even took some to work for lunch and to share with a co worker who also loved it. have made it several times since.” —Tarbamai
Easy Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup
Dotdash Meredith Video Studios
This soup has cozy, cheesy, saucy comfort of classic lasagna—without the layering or oven time. It’s hearty and perfect for busy weeknights.
“The Bible study ladies loved this. I used all Italian sausage and different pasta (Aldi’s autumn shaped pasta) as the lasagna noodles were too difficult to break. Really, any type of pasta would work well. Adjust seasoning to your taste. Enjoy!” —TerriLe
Butternut Squash Risotto
Mashed butternut squash melts into tender Arborio rice, stirred slowly with stock until silky, then finished with Parmesan for a comforting dish that works as a side or a cozy main.
“This was delicious! Parm gave it plenty of taste! Needs to cook for a loooooong time with the risotto rice in the broth. I also roasted the squash instead of steaming it~salted and peppered the squash so didn’t add extra salt to dish,” —Wendi Behan Obuchowski
