Instant Pot and Slow Cooker Summer Dinners

Summer starts officially on June 21, but the weather heats up in many places long before that. And when it gets warm I hate standing over the hot stove, which is why I love using my favorite kitchen appliances to make Instant Pot and Slow Cooker Summer Dinners. These dinners made in the slow cooker or the Instant Pot will keep your kitchen cool, and every one of the summer dinners included in this updated post really do look amazing!

And many of these summer dinners are low-carb or can easily be made low-carb with a few easy changes like using low-carb tortillas or pita bread, so if you’re watching carbs you might want to PIN this post so you can make tasty low-carb dinners all summer long!

What do we mean by Summer Dinners?

What I consider to be a summer dinner is a meal where there’s some protein cooked in the slow cooker or Instant Pot, but the final dish includes a cooling ingredient like lettuce, avocado, sour cream, yogurt, or slaw.
