Now, some may call it a slow cooker while others prefer crock pot, but I think we can all agree that dinner is often best served from these genius hands-free set it and forget it pieces of kitchen cookware that save us all on busy weeknights and twice on Sundays.

Of course, this isn’t the first time I’ve sung the praises of keto crockpot recipes. I may have mentioned a crockpot recipe or twenty-one in the keto meal-prep tips post, and you may recall oh, I don’t know, around 40 or so in my first keto crockpot post.
Don’t worry, if you missed them I’ll post the links at the bottom!
So, why am I writing about keto crockpot recipes again? Well, I’ll give you 3 reasons-in case you’re not already a believer! Crockpot/Slow Cooker recipes are…
1. Budget Friendly: First, you’ll save $$$ by eating at home. A ton of money. Your slow cooker also gives you an opportunity to use the food in the back of your fridge that may otherwise get tossed. (Looking at you ziplock veggies!) Plus, you can make a crockpot meal stretch into multiple nights of dinner and lunches. A quality slow cooker pays for itself in a week. Seriously. This is the one I use.
2. Easy to Prepare: You won’t find a lot of prep work here-and most crockpot recipes don’t require much work at all!
3. Family Friendly: You can make a lot of food at once in the crockpot-enough to feed a family of eight & have leftovers! And, unless you have teenagers or other picky eaters, everyone in the family (keto or not) will eat it and love it!
Sold? Fabulous! Now grab a pen or get ready to hit save because I’m about to introduce you to your new favorite crockpot recipe!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put frozen chicken in a slow cooker?
Most food safety guidance says no – frozen meat spends too long in the danger zone before it comes to temperature. Thaw overnight in the fridge. If you forgot, use the Instant Pot instead.
Low or High?
Both reach about the same temperature; High just gets there faster. Roughly 1 hour on High equals 2 on Low. Low is better for tough cuts because the slow climb breaks down connective tissue.
Why is my crockpot chicken dry?
Chicken breast is lean and eight hours is far too long for it. Four to five on Low is plenty. Thighs are much more forgiving, which is why they show up in so many of these.
Can I leave it running while I’m at work?
Yes, that’s what they’re designed for. Clear counter, away from the wall, not under a cabinet where steam collects.
How do I make crockpot meals keto without the canned soup?
Cream cheese, heavy cream and shredded cheese do what condensed soup does, without the starch and sugar. Almost every recipe here uses that approach.
Can I freeze these?
Most of them. Soups, chilis and shredded meats freeze for three months. Anything with a lot of dairy can separate – stir it back together when reheating and it’s fine.
What size crockpot do I need?
Six quarts covers everything here and feeds four with leftovers. Don’t overfill a smaller one; it cooks unevenly.
Where do I start if I’ve never used a slow cooker?
Crack chicken or Mississippi pot roast. Both are five ingredients, neither requires browning anything first, and both are nearly impossible to ruin. Once you’ve done one of those you’ll understand why people get attached to these things.
