As the temperatures dip down into the 50's and 60's, it's time to start thinking about comfort food. With the colder weather of fall and winter comes the time to enjoy intricate, flavorful, slow cooked meals. Though a four-hour cooking time may sound a bit daunting, slow cooker meals can be made easier with a bit of prep and a foolproof recipe on hand.

These tried-and-true favorites from the #feedfeed community will keep you warm this season.

If you've had a bag of lentils sitting in your pantry for months on end, this soup is the best way to finally use them. Prep ingredients the night before, start the slow cooker on your way out the door in the morning, and come home to dinner already made. (Omit cheese & sub in vegetable stock for a vegan-friendly version).
