Summer and a hot oven don’t mix.
The last thing you want on a 90-degree day is to stand over a stove for an hour, heating up your kitchen along with your dinner. That’s where the crockpot earns its keep.
Set it in the morning, walk away, and come back to a meal that’s ready when you are—no sweating required.
These recipes are easy, mostly hands-off, and work just as well for a weeknight dinner as they do for feeding a crowd at your next cookout.
