Looking back, I thought my gram was a gourmet cook who magically created these Sunday meals, but turns out she was also a genius!

She dumped everything in her slow cooker and let it all cook WHILE we were at church so SHE had a meal ready – and we thought she was a magician haha!

Now, as an adult who cooks for my own family, I also have discovered the pure MAGIC of crockpot dump meal recipes – just dump, start… and a yummy meal is ready when we are (and a LOT less clean up too – that’s always a win!)

Below are about 17-ish of the after church lunches and dinners our family has thoroughly enjoyed over the years – I hope you’ll add them to YOUR Sunday meal rotation too!
