Hey Reader!

Slow cookers aren't only for Sunday meals and soup season. They’re my weeknight safety net! If I can toss dinner in a slow cooker before lunch and forget about it, not have to turn on the oven, and not stand over a stove — I call that a win!

Summer Slow Cooker Recipes

​Sweet And Sour Pineapple Pork​

This easy pork loin has amazing flavor from brown sugar, apple cider sauce, fresh pineapple, and caramelized onions.

​Taco Meat​

I make a few pounds of this meat in the slow cooker because it’s great in tacos, burritos, a salad, or a bowl!

​BBQ Chicken Legs​

These chicken legs are everything I love in a weeknight dinner — easy, comforting, and packed with Southern-style flavor.

​Crock Pot Sloppy Joes​

Cooked low and slow with brown sugar, tomato sauce, and spices, this homemade recipe is a meat lover’s dream.

​Bloody Mary Chili​

A hearty bowl of goodness loaded with beef, beans, and warm, spicy flavors, and leftovers store and reheat beautifully for a quick lunch or dinner!

​Creamy Lemon Chicken​

Not only is this chicken fall-apart tender, but the creamy lemon gravy is so good, you'll want to pour it over everything on your plate.

​Pulled Pork​

This tender, slow-cooked pulled pork is great for serving piled high on sandwich buns with coleslaw, pickles, and BBQ sauce!

​Mississippi Meatballs​

These meatballs take the traditional flavor of Mississippi chicken and turns frozen meatballs into a Southern comfort food masterpiece.

​Ultimate Guide To Crock Pot Cooking​

You can cook almost anything in a crock pot — main dishes, appetizers, desserts, breakfast — and this guide will teach you how!
