Most of us associate our slow cookers with stick-to-your-ribs comfort foods usually eaten in the fall and winter. But it’s actually the perfect warm-weather appliance—it helps keep the kitchen cool and does the work for you while you enjoy your day. From lasagna to wings to breakfast, try these 5 fantastic summer recipes!
The beauty of using the slow cooker for this dish is you can enjoy tasty lasagna without heating up the entire kitchen on 90-degree days. This recipe uses rotisserie chicken and jarred Alfredo sauce, making it even easier to prep. (Note: If you already have leftover chicken, feel free to use that, and if you prefer to make your own Alfredo sauce from scratch, use 3.5 cups of sauce).
