🍂 4 Cozy Fall Crockpot Recipes You’ll Love

Hey y’all, welcome back to the blog — and welcome if you’re new here! 👋 Today, I’m sharing four fall-friendly crockpot recipes that are easy, comforting, and absolutely delicious.

Crockpots are wonderful in the summer (hello, no hot kitchen 🙌), but they’re even better in the fall. There’s just something about slow cooking a hearty soup or stew while you curl up with a good book or movie, and letting your whole house fill with that cozy, mouthwatering smell.

This post is extra fun because it’s in collaboration with my sweet friend Stephanie over at Home Sweet Stephanie. She’s sharing her own fall crockpot recipes today, so once you’re done here, be sure to check out her post for even more slow cooker inspiration. She’s one of my favorite people, and I know you’ll love her, too.

Now let’s hop right into the recipes — I’ve got four fall crockpot favorites for you! 🍁

🦐 1. Crockpot Shrimp Creole

This recipe is one of my absolute all-time favorites — bold, savory, and full of flavor.

Ingredients:

• 8–10 strips cooked bacon, chopped
• ½ yellow onion, diced
• ½ bell pepper, diced
• 64 oz V8 vegetable juice
• 32 oz bag peeled & deveined raw shrimp (tail off)
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Optional: 1 small can of tomato paste (to thicken)

Instructions:

1. Pour the V8 juice into your crockpot.
2. Add bacon, onion, bell pepper, and seasonings. Stir.
3. Cook on LOW for 4–5 hours.
4. One hour before serving, add the shrimp. (I used just over half the bag, but you can add all if you love shrimp!)
5. If you’d like a thicker sauce, stir in tomato paste.

💡 To Serve: Spoon over warm white rice. The smoky bacon, sweet peppers, onion, and shrimp all blend together into the perfect Creole comfort dish!

🍝 4. Crockpot Spaghetti Squash (Low-Carb Pasta Alternative)

If you love pasta but want a healthier option, spaghetti squash in the crockpot is a game-changer.

Ingredients:

• 1 whole spaghetti squash
• 1⅓ cups water
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 jar pasta sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• Parsley, salt, and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Place whole spaghetti squash in the crockpot. Pierce with a knife several times.
2. Add water, cover, and cook on HIGH for 5½ hours or LOW for 7–8 hours.
3. Just before squash is ready, brown your ground beef. Stir in pasta sauce and heat through.
4. Cut squash in half, scoop out the seeds, and shred with a fork.
5. Top squash halves with meat sauce, mozzarella, and parsley. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes until cheese is melted.

✨ This dish tastes just as good (if not better!) than traditional pasta, but with a lighter, low-carb twist.
