Why You’ll Love Crockpot Slop

Crockpot Slop’s appeal lies in its ease and adaptability. It’s perfect for cleaning out the fridge—toss in whatever veggies or canned goods you have on hand! The flavors meld beautifully in the crockpot, resulting in a meal that’s both fuss-free and deeply delicious. With little prep and even less cleanup, this dish quickly becomes a household staple.

Customizing the Vegetable Mix

What makes this “slop” so irresistible is the blend of vegetables that add nutrition and texture. Use a combination of bell peppers, onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes, or add zucchini, corn, or green beans for extra variety. For efficient and consistent chopping, the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper is a huge help—especially for batch cooking.

Effortless Meat Prep and Shredding

Ground beef, turkey, or sausage are all excellent bases. Brown the meat first for rich flavor, then add straight to your crockpot. If using cooked chicken or pork, the Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen effortlessly pulls the protein apart for a rustic, hearty texture.

The Perfect Crockpot Slop Assembly

Simply layer your browned or shredded meat, chopped veggies, beans, canned tomatoes, and sauces in the crockpot. Stir everything together and let the slow cooker do the work. For mashing cooked potatoes or breaking up beans gently, a Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher is a handy addition.

Serving and Storing Crockpot Slop

Serve your slop hot in bowls with a side of crusty bread, or as a topping for baked potatoes, rice, or noodles. The chunky texture also packs well in meal-prep containers like the Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers for easy lunches throughout the week.
