When the weather is hot everyone hates standing over the stove, which is why I think you’ll love some of these 20 Amazing Slow Cooker Summer Dinners when it’s too hot to cook. And it’s Memorial Day this weekend, which I think is the unofficial arrival of summer! I even love summer food so much that I added a recipe category to Slow Cooker or Pressure Cooker called Summer Dinners, and I’m a huge advocate of using the slow cooker to make dinner in the summer to keep the kitchen cool.

Of course I realize that some of you have abandoned the slow cooker in favor of the Instant Pot, but personally I think there’s something special about coming home to dinner that’s ready to eat! You can spend your days at the pool, at the park, or at the beach and let the slow cooker do the work. That’s why I ‘m updating this collection of Slow Cooker Summer Dinners with a few new ideas, and this post also includes some of the most popular summer dinners ever featured on the site. Happy summer everyone, and I’m sorry if the weather hasn’t gotten the memo yet where you live!
