Okay, I am re-posting my SUMMER SLOW COOKER RECIPES from last year because friends, THE SLOW COOKER SHOULD BE YOUR FRIEND RIGHT NOW! I used to think that the slow cooker was reserved for fall and winter only…BUT I WAS WRONG!! During the hot summer months, when I don’t want to stand over my stove and oven, the slow cooker saves the day. When we’re out by the pool all day and just want to come inside to dinner already prepared, the slow cooker saves the day. When it’s a million degrees out but I don’t want to heat up the kitchen, the slow cooker saves the day. The slow cooker was made for every day friends. Every. Single. Day.
Throw your ingredients in, head out, come home, eat supper. That’s it! Who wants to be in the kitchen when there is fun summer stuff to be had?! NOT ME!
CROCK POT ENCHILADA TACOS And if you prefer chicken…
Or one more variation…
TERIYAKI CHICKEN IN THE SLOW COOKER
Just a few little slow cooker recipes to get you from mid-July to fall (when our slow cookers work overtime!). Pull it out, plug it in, and get dinner started before your day begins!

Hi for the hawaiian chicken do you think it could work I used fresh pineapple instead of crushed pineapple?

Hi do you think I could make the hawaiian chicken without a slow cooker? We don’t own a slow cooker but It looks so good! Would I just place it all in the oven?:)
Mix and Match Mama says
Skillet!! Totally!
Jaime says
Hi! for your Chicken and Black Bean Rice Casserole do you think it would work if I used wild rice for the rice?
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes!!

Have you tried any of these on the instant pot slow cooker setting? I don’t have a slow cooker anymore and wondered if you have used yours as a slow cooker? Thanks Shay!
Mix and Match Mama says
I don’t! I always use my IP for that and my SC for that.
Beth Swindig says
Love all the options. There are some great ones here! Have you tried Sweet Baby Ray’s Hawaiian BBQ sauce? So good. Also, do you have a blog that is a list of easy summer sides? I tried the search option. Trying to come up with some pasta salads and other sides to use for lunch and dinner options. Thanks and have a great day!
Mix and Match Mama says
I need to do that!! Thanks for the idea, Beth! In the meantime, you can click “sides” on my sidebar!

I love my crockpot so much that I sleep with it every night…okay, maybe not totally true…but I sure do love it. Thank you for all this summery good eating made easier because it is prepared by my slow cooker BFF.
