Delicious, hearty, and full of plant-based goodness - you're going to want to save these vegan crockpot recipes to come back to again and again.
Most of these recipes do not require any pre-cooking, meaning you can dump everything in the slow cooker, press start, and go about your day! Not only is the slow cooker great for easy meals, but it is our secret weapon when it comes to meal prep. You'll have a cozy and delicious vegan meal waiting for you after a busy day - it doesn't get any better than that!
How to use these recipes for meal prep
- Crockpot freezer meals - some of these recipes may be assembled ahead and frozen. See our tips for crockpot freezer meals in this post.
- Portion and freeze - cool leftovers, portion out with rice (when appropriate), and freeze in single serve portions. We would recommend a good set of glass meal prep containers for this.
- Repurpose leftovers - you can make a big batch and repurpose leftovers in multiples dishes. You can see how we did that in this crockpot sweet potatoes post.

It’s funny to me that Hillshire Farm is advertising smoked sausage on the vegan recipe website. Maybe not hitting their target audience here 😉

Hi Chris! LOL sounds like they are not. I am not a vegan food blog, so I don't have non vegan product ads blocked on my site. I'm glad you can have a sense of humour about it!

Um 29 is not only not vegan but it isn’t even vegetarian. There’s dairy, chicken broth and chicken!
