I consider dishes like this Slow Cooker Mexican Pork Carnitas from Skinnytaste to be the perfect thing to cook in your slow cooker when it's hot outside.  Not only does it cook all day without heating up the house, but you can use the flavorful shredded pork in things like burritos or tacos, which I think still taste great when it's hot outside.  Gina suggests using the boneless pork shoulder blade roast for a lighter version of this Mexican classic, and the cooling avocado is a nice touch.
