Cooking Spring/Summer Crockpot recipes?

[Suz D]

Hi,

I love to use my crockpot because it keeps me on budget and keeps me organized. The problem is, most crockpot recipes are so "wintery". Does anyone have any good recipes to share for spring and summer?

Thanks!

I do fajita filling - from crockpot lady - as its equally good for summer (anything not involving ovens and frying pans is good in summer, right?)

 

[teacups]

I have a recipe for Carribean Black Bean Chili that is really good.
Most people think its too hard... it's SO NOT hard! If you want it Ill find it....

I usually make things like pulled pork, sloppy joes, or other sandwiches. That way too since our summer schedule is so busy we can eat whenever if need be. Let me know if you want any.

Chicken cacciatore
baked chicken (whole chicken with seasonings, placed on top of aluminum balls)
layered cheese ravioli (with cheese, and sauce. no need to precook the ravioli)
lentil sloppy joes

I use my crock pot more in the summer than winter. It doesn't heat up the kitchen like using the oven does.

I have a slow cooker cookbook and one of the yummiest recipes is Lemony Roasted Chicken. It's super easy. The Meatball Grinders, BBQ Beef, 3-Cheese Chicken and Noodles, Caribbean Shrimp and Rice, and the Chicken Teriyaki are all good as well. Let me know if you want the recipes.

 

[MazdaUK]

Yes please!!!

The other day while I was in Lowes I saw a book I think it was from Taste of Home and it was summer slow cooker recipes. I cannot remember if it was a full size magazine or one of the smaller recipes that we usually find at the check out counters. In fact that is where it was.

I have copied the wonderful recipes from this thread over into our "Crockpot Crazy" thread so that we have them all in one place. There is an index "stickied" to the top of the forum, in case anyone is interested: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1915122

I didn't see these posted, but would love it if you shared them! They all look good, but I'm especially interested in the Lemony Chicken, Chicken Teriyaki & Caribbean Shrimp ones.

I'd love to see the Lemony Roasted Chicken!

Just wanted to let you know I've tried both of these & they were both GREAT! If I had to pick I think I'd give the edge to the dry rub but like I said, both were very good.

In the summer(or anytime) our family loves this recipe for Hot Chicken Sandwiches.

6 boneless chicken breast
1/2 cup each finely chopped onion & celery
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 sleeve saltine crackers, crushed

Cook the chicken, onion,celery, soup and stock on low for 6 hours. remove chicken and shred. Add back to liquid in crockpot. Add enough of the crushed crackers to thicken. Serve on rolls.
Very yummy!
