We love casseroles. This idea originated as a simple dish made in the slow cooker so my cooking life could be awesomely easy and full of mouth rocking flavor.
It has this sort of all-up-in-there casserole kind of a feel to it. Easy, minimal, and delicious is the three-way target I’m looking to land on.
These slow cooker casseroles are making Monday dinners everywhere just a little more wonderful.

Want to know the secret to the most amazing corn casserole ever? It’s the Crockpot! This recipe gives you the fluffiest, lightest, and creamiest casserole you can imagine.

3. Crockpot Sloppy Joe Noodle Casserole
This four-ingredient Crockpot meal is one of the most effortless dinners you can fix, and it’s also super quick, coming together in just over an hour.

Broccoli casserole is always a winner, but this recipe is so incredibly simple, you’ll want to make it all the time. You just need cream of celery soup, sharp cheddar, green onions, frozen broccoli, and Ritz crackers.
The broccoli comes out tender but still has a wonderful crunch. The cheese is gooey and fantastic, and those Ritz crackers on top add a crunchy layer that just brings it all home.
7. Kitchen Sink Crockpot Casserole
I’m not sure how to describe this casserole other than calling it insanely good, which is my highest praise. It literally has everything you could ever want in a meal: meat, veggies, starches, and cheese, all with so much potent, bold flavor.
If you love those “everything but the kitchen sink” kind of meals, this one is for you.
8. Slow Cooker Dorito Taco Casserole
This Dorito taco casserole elevates taco salad to a whole new level with the best ingredients: lean beef, diced tomatoes, chiles, taco seasoning, crushed Doritos, cheese, and more.
The real star, though, is the Bacon Catalina dressing, which adds a rich, tangy flavor you just don’t get in regular taco salad.
Besides browning the beef, you just dump everything in the slow cooker and let it work its magic. It takes a little over 4 hours, so you can start it at lunch and have dinner ready to go.
9. Crockpot Tuna Noodle Casserole
If you’re more of a tuna and noodles person than a beef and tater tots fan, then this Crockpot tuna noodle casserole might be your perfect match.
It’s got a smooth and creamy sauce, tons of herb flavor, and an amazing topping made from cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs. It’s basically the classic tuna casserole you love, just made so much easier in the Crockpot.
10. Crockpot Hash Brown Casserole
I’m sure you’ve had hash brown casserole before, but I bet you’ve never had one quite this good. It’s so creamy, cheesy, and hearty, with lots of tender potato chunks that will satisfy even the hungriest bellies.
It takes about 8 hours to cook, but it uses only five ingredients (plus salt and pepper). We’re talking easy, convenient, and oh-so delicious.
11. Slow Cooker Eggplant Casserole
This is a phenomenal Italian casserole, kind of like eggplant parmesan but with the addition of portobello mushrooms, mozzarella, fresh basil, and garlic and onion powders.
It’s such a tasty treat, and since it only takes 20 minutes to prepare, it’s the perfect dinner for those nights when you just don’t have a lot of energy to cook.
12. Slow Cooker Spaghetti Casserole
Think of your favorite baked spaghetti, but make it even better. We’re talking extra cheesy with mozzarella, parmesan, AND cheddar, plus it’s so much creamier.
This dish is packed with fragrant herbs and spices like salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, onion, garlic, and Italian seasoning that make it taste just incredible.
And if you want to make it a meatless meal, just leave out the ground beef and sausage. So simple and so, so good!
13. Crockpot Pierogi and Kielbasa Casserole
It might look like there’s a lot going on in this colorful casserole, but it’s just a simple mix of chicken broth, frozen pierogies, cheddar cheese, kielbasa, cream cheese, and green onions, plus salt and pepper.
The result is tangy, savory, and cheesy, with juicy and succulent sausage. It’s a hearty dinner the whole family will love.

You could call this John Wayne casserole “Tex Mex,” but I like to think of it as “Wild West cowboy meets South of the Border yumminess.”
Whatever name you give it, this casserole is a wonderful combination of tater tots, onions, ground beef, bell peppers, tomatoes, taco seasoning, cheese, and more. It is definitely right.
18. Crockpot Mexican Casserole
Here’s another fantastic choice for a taco salad-style casserole that’s loaded with even more yummy ingredients. We’re talking quinoa, black beans, bell peppers, corn, and more.
