What Makes a Good Summer Slow Cooker Recipe?
Easy. Delicious. Not too heavy. Those are the qualities to look for in a summer Crock Pot recipe. My favorite warm weather recipes always have BBQ sauce, citrus, pineapple, salsa, taco seasoning, fresh toppings, or simple sides of rice, buns, tortillas, pasta salad, coleslaw, or corn on the cob.
Summer slow cooker meals are also perfect when you need your food to stay warm for a party. Let meatballs, queso dip, shredded beef tacos, Mississippi chicken, or country style pork ribs hang out on warm while everyone goes back for seconds.

We do not recommend cooking frozen chicken breasts in the Crock-Pot Slow Cooker. Frozen meat takes too long to reach a safe temperature and may botulism
BBQ Chicken, salsa chicken, pulled pork, taco meat, ribs, and dips are some of the best dump and go Crock Pot meals to make when it's HOT outside! They take little to no prep work and don't heat up your kitchen since you don't need to use the oven!
