Alexandra F.:  Every single one of us loves this meal, and three out of my four kids are extremely picky eaters. We make it almost every week, because it is one meal we know everyone will always eat. The flavor is really mild, so even my picky eaters who don't like Indian cuisine love this meal.

Vanessa M.:  Science has proven that kids are more likely to eat their dinner if "pizza" is in the title. Ok, that's not true, but it may as well be because kids universally adore pizza.

Vanessa M.:  The easiest of all kid friendly chicken crock pot meals takes 5 minutes or less to throw together! Just add 2-3 whole chicken breasts (4-6 halves), a 16-oz jar of your favorite salsa and a packet of taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp of homemade!) to your crockpot. Combine and cook on high for 4-5 hours. Then just shred your chicken with a fork and enjoy on tacos, burritos, salads, or on top of rice. My kids love to make chicken tacos with this recipe!

The perfect blend of chicken, pesto, lemon, and mozzarella is definitely mind blowing and delicious. Side with some garlic bread for a little kick.

Kristy Pepping:  I don't make too many family crockpot meals, but this is one I always make in the colder months or on a rainy day. Our whole family likes chili.

Plus, top with a little bit of cheese or crackers once it's done cooking! From Allrecipes

Vanessa M.:  My son is obsessed with IKEA's Swedish meatballs, so this is one of his all time favorite kid friendly crock pot meals. Using a package of frozen meatballs makes this recipe so easy to put together. I like to pour a bag of frozen peas into the slow cooker about 20 min before serving, just to add some color and extra nutrients. From The Country Cook

Gina I.:  There's nothing like a steamy bowl of soup on a cold day, and this baked potato soup doesn't disappoint! I like to add a little extra chicken or veggie broth and blend with an immersion blender for a few seconds for a creamier texture. It's even good if you omit the bacon! From Food.com
