Top Summer Crockpot Meals
I don’t typically serve soup and Chili in the summer, but that doesn’t mean I forgo all warm meals. Using the crock pot will help put a hot dinner on the table without making you sweat in the process. These are our favorite easy summer dinner recipes that we enjoy all season long!
More Crock Pot Meals for Summer
Summer is often a time for grilled dinners! We love to cook shrimp skewers, salmon, or steak but don’t rule out meat in a crockpot. Pulled pork and ribs can easily be cooked in a slow cooker, along with these main dish favorites! A favorite is to cook up carnitas and whip out a blender for some fresh Salsa! Or make Pico de Gallo, grab some tomatoes and cilantro from the garden, garlic, red onions, and a bit of lime, and enjoy!
Crockpot Sides
Side dishes for us often include summer vegetables. We grow veggies in our garden (zucchini, bell pepper, and tomatoes being favorites). A crockpot is a great way to keep sides like veggies, beans, or even Tortillas warm. Summer side dishes are perfect for weeknight dinner or to pair with favorite meats cooked on the grill. Cook up some of these easy, delicious sides in the slow cooker to go with any of your favorite easy summer dinner ideas.
