Crockpot Pork Tenderloin
I love lean and tender (and budget-friendly) pork tenderloin. This crockpot pork tenderloin is one of those fall crockpot recipes that makes a lush, flavorful meal with onions, broth, butter, a packet of mushroom gravy mix, and a couple pantry spices. This goes great with my recipe for Sauteed Pierogies, too.

Apple Cider Glazed Pork Chops
Apples are a natural pairing with pork, and this recipe creates the luscious glaze out of some simple pantry staples and a fall favorite: apple cider. These easy pork chops are a great weeknight meal with some refrigerated Jimmy Dean mashed potatoes or air fryer smashed potatoes.
Crockpot Chicken Casserole
This crockpot chicken casserole is the kind of dinner I make when I just know I will not feel like cooking later. I put the chicken breasts, cream of chicken soup, and broth in the slow cooker, then walk away from it for a few hours. By dinner, the chicken is tender enough to pull apart with a fork.
LDBrown, 5★: “My family loved this!”
Sheet Pan Steak and Vegetables
Here’s another easy autumn weeknight dinner. The oven does most of the work here for this one-pan wonder and just a couple of pantry seasonings do the trick. Cubes of potato go in the oven first, edges turning just a bit golden. The sirloin’s surface gets dark under your fave steak seasoning, and the asparagus tips blister just a bit.
Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup
This recipe for homemade chicken noodle soup in the crockpot comes together pretty fast. Fresh carrots, celery, chicken breast, broth and a few pantry spices and you have a comfort food classic ready on a chilly evening.
Stuffing Mix Meatloaf
There’s a popular recipe going around to make meatloaf even easier: Stuffing Mix Meatloaf. It only has four ingredients! If you are looking for a dinner idea with few ingredients, tastes good, and you could have leftovers, this is for you.
Melanie R.: “I just made this tonight. It was very good! Will definitely make it again.”
Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas
Tex-Mex is welcome any season in our house, but there’s something that makes these one of my favorite cozy fall dinner recipes. They start with a rotisserie chicken and finish with tangy sour cream and some mild green chiles. Feeds a crowd with some air fryer tortilla chips on the side and apple pie dip and cinnamon sugar chips for dessert.
Roast Whole Chicken
Learn how to roast a juicy, flavorful whole chicken in the oven with this easy, no-fail method. This simple recipe delivers tender, perfectly seasoned chicken every time with veggies that roast at the same time as the bird — great for family dinners or special occasions.
Sloppy Joe Casserole
The notable flavors in a classic sloppy joe are that edge of sweetness plus the tang of paprika and chili powder in the beefy sloppy joes sauce. So in this recipe, you get that familiar flavor and aroma, but mingled with your favorite pasta shape and lots of cheese instead of a notoriously messy sandwich.
Glenyce gives this one 5 Stars!
Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
The best weeknight dinners, I find, are the ones that are both deeply satisfying and surprisingly simple. This stuffed spaghetti squash recipe has a savory meat sauce enhancing the buttery strands of squash, perfect as part of your rotation of healthy fall dinner recipes.
Elisa Barnes, 5★: “Great recipe, I switched out the ground beef with ground turkey, it was amazing, this is a family favorite… the tip about microwaving the squash first was so helpful.”
Crack Chicken
Are you looking for something new for a fall crockpot dinner? We have a creamy, cheesy, and downright delicious dish that is as versatile as yummy! This slow-cooker recipe can be served as a sandwich, dipping for chips, or even top baked potatoes. It is made with shredded chicken, crispy bacon, ranch seasoning, and melted gooey cheese.
Ground Beef Casserole With Potatoes
Ground beef is such a versatile meat that you can make endless recipes with quickly. Recently it was on sale and we stocked up. We decided on a ground beef casserole with potatoes and oh my was it delicious.
Highly reviewed. Ellen said: “Absolutely wonderful. Two out of thee guests called the next day asking me for the recipe.”
Braised Chicken Quarters with Pickle Juice Pan Sauce
Love the tangy, garlicky flavor of dill pickle juice? You aren’t alone! You’ll get the luscious pickle flavor from the pan sauce and a stovetop sear in a skillet without the time involved from brining chicken quarters overnight.
Skillet Bacon Cheeseburger Tortellini
The tortellini turns tender and plump as it cooks, ready to catch the savory pan juices from browned beef and softened onion. Sharp cheddar melts into the folds, clinging to the pasta while smoky bacon crisps provide contrast in each bite. A handful of canned tomatoes adds a gentle acidity that cuts through the richness.
Lorie says: “This was easy and delicious.”
Sautéed Pierogies with Onions
One of my favorite comfort foods is sauteed pierogies. This recipe starts with frozen pierogies; stash them for that Friday evening when we don’t feel like cooking a gourmet meal but want something extra yummy.
Ranch Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner
This sheet pan ranch chicken and veggies cooks chicken breast pieces, halved baby potatoes, and green beans together at 400 with two packets of dry ranch seasoning to kick up the flavor levels like crazy! The chicken stays moist as it roasts, the potato cut sides turn golden where they touch the parchment, and the green beans char at the tips.
One Pot Jambalaya
I love the way the broth soaks into the rice, all the good stuff from the chicken, sausage and seasoning deliver a powerhouse of rich flavor. If you like spicy heat, make this to the letter (and add more Slap Ya Mama or hot sauce of your choosing when you serve).
Ritz Cracker Chicken
Baked in the oven, here’s a tasty chicken recipe using Ritz crackers in the coating! Who couldn’t use an easy weeknight chicken dinner that’s crisp and delicious and ready in 30 minutes! Not too much work and easy to follow, I think you’ll love this one.
Sheet Pan Honey Glazed Pork Chops
The honey gets brushed across each bone-in chop before the pan goes into the oven, thinning as the heat builds until it sets into a caramelized crust along the edges and around the bone. Baby red potatoes roast happily in the drippings, the zucchini softens, while the baby carrots hold their shape and sweeten throughout.
Dr Pepper Glazed Ham
Dr. Pepper is the drink of my youth. It is sweet and has a hint of licorice, cherry, a touch of anise, and caramel. These flavors are why Dr. Pepper makes such a rich glaze. It is sweet, thick, and jammed with flavor.
The bottom line
From comforting Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup with fresh chicken breasts to sheet pan meals that make a weeknight fall dinner the easiest ever, I hope you are warming yourself during the fall season with good food and good friends. Enjoy!
