Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes

I thought I’d gather up some great Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes for you. Most of these are from my blog, but I also wanted to include some great recipes from my friends.

I love the slow cooker or Crock Pot year round, but there’s something so cozy about using it in the winter when it’s cold out and dinner’s cooking on the counter for hours and it smells so good!

And I have so many recipes that I’ve shared over the years that you’re going to love. Easy to put together. Family friendly, healthy, and (of course) delicious! And, you don’t need the meat to have a delicious dinner!

Year-round comfort food

Vegetarian dishes tend to be lighter than many meat dishes, which makes these veggie crock pot dishes not only great for winter, but eat these meals in the spring and summer when you’re looking for lighter fare.

Many of these recipes are vegan as well as being vegetarian. So I’ve indicated on the description if they are vegan or gluten free as well.

Want a little flavor boost in these or any other soup, stew, or casserole? Toss in some of my Vegetable Broth Mix. It’s easy to make and will save you if you ever run out of broth or bouillon.

It was really important for me to put this list together so that vegetarians have some of these recipes. Check out why I’m a vegetarian as well.
