what makes these recipes dump and go?
A dump and go slow cooker recipe is one that doesn't require browning, sautéing, or cooking ingredients prior to adding them to the crockpot.
Less prep steps, less stress (and less clean up).
do you need to brown meat before adding it to the slow cooker?
While browning can add extra flavor, it's not always required.
All of the recipes included in this round-up skip the browning step, while still yielding delicious results.
how freeze and store dump and go slow cooker recipes
- All of these slow cooker recipes will keep well in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, in a sealed container
- Many of these recipes also freeze well, store in a sealed freezer friendly container for up to 2-3 months

Crockpot white chicken chili is an easy prep recipe, made with healthy ingredients and deliciously creamy without any dairy. Plus 55+ more dump and go slow cooker recipes I know you'll love!
- 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts , or thighs
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 15-oz cans white beans, drained and rinsed (such as Great Northern or cannellini)
- 1 4.5-oz can mild diced green chilis
- 1 cup mild green salsa verde , (tomatillo salsa), divided
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tsp granulated garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½-1 tsp kosher salt
- 4 tbsp cream cheese , (traditional or dairy free)
Optional Toppings
- avocado, sour cream (traditional or dairy-free), crushed tortilla chips, chopped onion, cilantro, fresh lime juice, jalapeno, Monterey jack cheese or dairy-free cheese shreds
Slow Cooker Instructions
-
Add the chicken, onion, white beans, green chilis, 1 cup of salsa verde, chicken stock, garlic powder, cumin, and salt to a 6-quart slow cooker.
-
Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
-
Uncover, remove the chicken, and shred with two forks or dice into chunks.
-
Using an immersion blender, blend the bean mixture for 5-10 seconds. Alternatively, carefully, remove ½ to 1 cup of the bean mixture to a blender. Cover, blend on high, then add back to the chili, stirring to combine. Note: blending for just a few seconds will add a creaminess to the creaminess, while leaving the texture of most of the beans.
-
Ladle a few tablespoons of the bean mixture into a medium bowl. Add the cream cheese and stir until well incorporated.
-
Add the chicken back to the slow cooker, along with the cream cheese mixture, stirring to combine. Taste and add additional salt or salsa if desired.
-
Serve with any toppings you like.
Instant Pot Instructions
-
Add the chicken, onion, white beans, green chilis, 1 cup of salsa verde, chicken stock, garlic powder, cumin, and salt to a 6-quart pressure cooker.
-
Cover and set to high pressure for 20 minutes. Allow to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick release.
-
Follow remaining slow cooker steps 4-6.
Stovetop Instructions
-
Add the chicken, onion, white beans, green chilis, 1 cup of salsa verde, chicken stock, garlic powder, cumin, and salt to a large Dutch oven.
-
Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Cook on medium-low heat, covered, for 40-60 minutes, until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork, stirring occasionally.
-
Follow remaining slow cooker steps 4-6.
For a spicier chili, use spicy green chilis and spicy salsa verde.
I use Kite-Hill dairy-free cream cheese for this recipe (see link above in ingredients)
