Crockpot Kitchen Sink Casserole – Everything Delicious Thrown Into One Cozy Dish!
This recipe was born out of one of those “clean out the fridge” nights when I tossed in everything that needed using—and it turned out amazing. Since then, this Kitchen Sink Casserole has become one of our favorite crockpot meals. It’s hearty, cheesy, and loaded with comforting flavors from meat, veggies, potatoes, and more.
The best part? You can swap in almost anything you’ve got on hand, and it still works! A real lifesaver on busy evenings when you just want to toss and go.
