30 Slow Cooker Recipes for Summer

May 22, 2012 at 5:02 pm 4 Comments  


Slow cookers aren’t just for winter anymore!

You can do so much more than soups and stews in your slow cooker. Now is the time to enjoy your favorite comfort foods without heating up the kitchen. You can also cook some of your favorite summery foods, while you’re away at the pool all day.

It’s also the perfect way to prepare the side dishes for your summer barbecue. Grill the entrees outside, and keep the heat out of the kitchen. And, did you know there are dessert crockpot recipes? That’s one thing I miss when I retire the oven for the summer — yummy baked treats.

So, as we approach a busy summer—not to mention a super hot week—here are 30 slow cooker recipes to keep your kitchen cool:

Mexican Slow Cooker Recipes

Chicken Fajitas
Chicken Tacos
Enchiladas
Taco Chicken Bowls

Slow Cooker Chicken Recipes

Apricot Chicken
Rotisserie Chicken
Chicken Caesar Sandwiches
Sour Cream and Bacon Chicken
Teriyaki Chicken
Cheesy Chicken and Rice

Slow Cooker Side Dishes

Baked Beans
Mashed Potatoes and Brown Sugared Carrots
Potluck Corn
Saucy Green Beans and Potatoes
Sesame Broccoli and Mushrooms

Slow Cooker Beef Recipes

BBQ Beef Sandwiches
Cheese Steak Sandwiches
Lasagna
Meatloaf
Pot Roast Nachos

Slow Cooker Pork Recipes

Slow Cooker Desserts

Christmas Candy
Molton Chocolate Lava Cake

If you’re looking for a new slow cooker, I’ve been pleased with mine so far. I have the Hamilton Beach Set ‘n Forget Slow Cooker. I like it because the lid latches on, making it perfect for transporting to potlucks without making a mess in your car!
