This collection of summer crock pot meals has all the best main dishes and sides that will spare you from heating up the kitchen!
Love a Good Summer Recipe!
The crock pot is a cook’s best friend and summer staple for many reasons! It gets hot here in Arizona summers, and not having to heat the kitchen up for dinner is a HUGE plus.
These summer crockpot recipes are perfect for starting in the morning so you can spend the rest of the day playing – or in our case, swimming!
Whether working or playing, you’ll return home to a ready and warm summer dinner. We’ve included both main dishes and side dishes to help round out your dinners!
This Easy Beef Stroganoff recipe is simple and flavorful. Served with egg noodles, this creamy stroganoff made in the slow cooker is a classic Sunday dinner recipe and is perfect to enjoy any night of the week.
These Simple and delicious Slow Cooker Pork Chops are sure to become a family favorite. They are so tender and juicy and are topped with an amazing gravy that we love to serve over the chops and mashed potatoes!
The crock pot takes all the guess work out of baked potatoes. Simply prep and wrap your potatoes, throw them in the crock pot, and they come out perfectly ready to be topped with all your favorite fixings!

I didn’t know some of these foods- mostly the sides- could be made in a slow cooker. Im anxious to give them a try.
I love this list!! I do not want to turn the oven on during the summer, so these are perfect! I love the slow cooker mac & cheese!
