Most people love fall for a variety of reasons, whether it be the changing colors of the trees, crisp sweater weather or, of course, all things pumpkin spice. But with darkness falling earlier and eventually hitting you by the time you arrive home from work, cooking a full meal is probably the last thing you want to do. 

When all you want to do is slip into some comfortable clothes and have dinner made for you, the slow cooker (or crockpot, if you prefer) can be your best friend. Here are 10 mouth-watering slow cooker recipes to keep in mind this fall.

Keep in mind that these recipes can be easily doubled if you have a crowd to cook for. Also, just because it says a specified amount of time doesn't mean you can't set your slow cooker at a higher or lower temperature to adjust the speed. Most importantly, remember that your slow cooker is there to give you a bit of help when the days get shorter and the weather gets nippier this fall.
