Slow cooker or Crock-Pot dump recipes are great for busy families especially in the summer when cooking in a hot kitchen is the last thing you want to do.

Using your slow cooker keeps the kitchen cooler because you don’t turn on the oven and you can set it and forget it while you spend the day at the pool. Plan ahead and make freezer meals that can be dumped into the slow cooker to save even more time.

Now you can enjoy the summer with the kids without stressing over dinner. After a long day at the pool, who wants to come home and cook a meal. Not me, that’s for sure! Enjoy your summer outside of the house instead of the kitchen with these crockpot dump meals for the family.
