15+ Crockpot Summer Meals
The simplest Crockpot French Dip Sandwiches
This is basically Bart’s favorite meal on earth. My girls love it too, and so they can’t really understand what’s going on when we eat sandwiches without sauce. And so damn easy. Add a seasonal fruit and a side salad and you’re good to go!
Crispy carnitas with summer corn salsa
This is screaming summer! Fresh corn salsa, paired with crispy pork and jalapeno crema, all wrapped in a warm tortilla. My work here is done.
Slow cooked sandwiches with chopped meat and chili peppers
If I had to pick a favorite dinner, it might be these sandwiches. Oh man, I never get tired of them – they are so good. If we have leftover meat, I scramble it with eggs for breakfast or put it in a tortilla shell.
Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken
This is a crowd pleaser and it’s so easy! I love that the recipe calls for chicken thighs, which tend to be cheaper and moister than chicken breasts. Serve with a side of broccoli and rice to complete a complete meal.
Crockpot Philly Cheesesteaks
Philly Cheesesteaks are a classic sandwich that you really can’t go wrong with. Place all the ingredients in the pot and let them cook all day. When you’re ready to eat, tuck the meat into a hoagie roll, top with provolone, wrap it in foil, and place it in the oven for a few minutes. This is a great meal if everyone eats at different times during the evening.
Green chile nachos
If you have guests over, this is a perfect way to feed a lot of mouths, without spending the day in the kitchen. Add some delicious toppings like avocado, olives and tomatoes to make it even more delicious.
Thai Beef Crockpot Curry
I first made this Thai Beef Crockpot Curry recipe over ten years ago and it is so good. It’s really hard to go wrong and always tastes delicious! And I can never say no to curry, not even in summer.
Slow Cooker Kung Pao Chicken
You can make this recipe super simple or a little more complicated, whether you want to buy Kung Pao sauce or make it from scratch. Either way, it’s delicious and packed with nutrients!
Chicken gyros
There is something so refreshing and summery about the combination of Tzatziki sauce with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. And if you want to make your life easier, pre-purchase the Tzatziki sauce and save 10 minutes.
Floating Taco Bowls
This is a very simple and customizable recipe where everyone in the family can find something they love. Have tons of toppings or not, whatever works best for you!
Crockpot BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
These Crockpot BBQ Chicken Sandwiches couldn’t be easier! Simply place the ingredients in the crockpot, let them cook all day, and then at dinner time serve the barbecue chicken on hamburger buns. Plus this is another great one for a crowd!
Copycat Cafe Rio Pork Barbacoa
My sister Merrick always makes this for a dinner at our family reunion and it’s always a big hit. I love that you can turn it into a burrito or salad and that it can slow cook all day while we’re out entertaining! The simplest dinner!

Meatball Substitutes
This is the simplest meal on the planet. Frozen meatballs, jarred marinara (Rao’s is 100% the best), and two minutes of prep time… yes, please! I follow this recipe loosely because sometimes I skip adding the spices if I have this garlic spread to put on sandwiches and put in the oven to toast.
Creamy Coconut Chicken Tikka Masala
My husband and I love Indian food and my kids love naan bread! This is easy to divide into kid-friendly sections (rice, naan, chicken), but serving it regularly is absolutely divine too! Try it if you are looking for something that tastes like takeaway food from home!

Crockpot Tuscan Chicken
I could eat anything with dried tomatoes in it! This chicken in creamy sauce has all the best flavors and I love that it has spinach! We love this dish served over noodles, but it would also be great with rice, cauliflower rice, dumplings, or even just some crusty bread.
Pulled Pork with Dr. Pepper
My husband usually likes to use his smoker to make pulled pork, but on some summer days it seems like a lot of work goes into getting everything ready, so this is our simple backup! We love using it for pulled pork sandwiches with slaw and make sheet pan tacos or BBQ pork pizza with the leftovers.

Crockpot Butter Chicken
I don’t make many crockpot meals, but this is a winner for everyone in my family. It’s easy to keep going on busy days and eat rice when we’re hungry.

Chicken Taco Salad
This chicken taco salad recipe is incredibly good. And it’s not just me, I’m always surprised by how much all my kids like it too: I recently served it to a group of hungry nine-year-olds and they devoured it. The toppings can be made ahead of time, it works great for leftovers, and I love a meal that doesn’t require extra sides!
Slow Cooker Chicken Tinga Tacos
These chicken tacos are quick and easy to prepare and are a great variation on our usual taco recipe. They also work well with flour tortillas (some of my kids aren’t crazy about corn tortillas) and I like to have a few extra on the side for delicious lunches that I can reheat quickly.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
