Hearty slow cooker meals are perfect for the chilly days ahead. This flavorful Slow Cooker Beef Stew is a household favorite and so easy to make for any weeknight meal!

It’s hard to believe that the winter months are almost upon us. (OK, I feel like I should specify here since some of y’all are dealing with some winter-like conditions right now. I live in Texas, and winter arrives around mid-December most of the time… so we’ve yet to experience anything too crazy yet.)

Either way, I don’t know about y’all, but this time of year is when I am in search of something comforting for dinner.

Today, I have the perfect comfort dish for y’all. It can easily be made the morning of, seared off, tossed into the slow cooker to do its thing all day and then it’s ready for you to eat when you get home from work.

It’s a quick dish to pull together, and it’s super cozy for a chilly winter’s night.

These cooler days definitely call for comfort foods, and what better way to say comfort food than a little heavy cream? 😉 I love that when I add it to anything, the dish immediately becomes that much more decadent. This dish is so savory and delicious, I couldn’t stop sneaking bites while it was cooking and after before serving it to my family!

We have used this as a warm side salad, and even topped a pizza with it along with some sliced up sausages and cheese. I happen to think it would make an excellent side to your holiday dinners as well! Who’s excited about Thanksgiving?!

These Lasagna Bites in Wonton Shells are both, and they’re well-loved in our home because they’re delicious and SO easy to make.

Slow Cooker Chicken Tortellini Soup

Crock Pot Chicken Tortellini Soup // Erin Skinner from The Speckled Palate for My Cooking Spot

I realize it’s still the dog days of summer, and it’s super hot outside. And that, if you live in the South like me, chances are the weather’s not turning toward fall for at least another month to month and a half.

However, the incredibly hot weather hasn’t stopped me from wanting to eat soup this season.

And yes, I know this is strange, but sometimes, a girl’s gotta have soup! And apparently, any home-y soup is my comfort food of choice these days.
