Let’s kick off the summer fiesta with a tropical pulled pork recipe that will transport you to an island paradise. Picture this – succulent pork tenderloin marinated in a zesty blend of tomato paste, soy sauce, pineapple, garlic, ginger, and a touch of sweetness from honey. Your slow cooker does all the work, infusing the meat with layers of flavor while keeping your kitchen cool. As the heavenly aroma wafts through your home, you’ll know something incredible is about to happen. Once it’s done, shred the tender pork and serve it up in soft buns with a dollop of tangy coleslaw. Your taste buds will dance to the tropical beat! Get the full recipe here!

Taco Tuesday just got a whole lot cooler with these flavor-packed beef tacos. No need to heat up your kitchen – the slow cooker is here to save the day! Once you season beef chuck with a mouthwatering blend of chili powder, cumin, garlic, onion, smoked paprika, coriander, and more you will be wowed!

Your home will be filled with the tantalizing scent of spices as the slow cooker works its magic. Hours later, you’ll be rewarded with tender, succulent beef infused with savory goodness. Stuff the spicy beef into taco shells or corn tortillas, and top with diced green chilies, salsa, and all your favorite fixings. These tacos are not just a hit; they’re a flavor explosion that will have your family asking for seconds (and thirds)! Get the full recipe here!

The slow cooker gently simmers the drumsticks in a delectable blend of BBQ sauce, honey, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and spices.

Once the drumsticks are almost done, a quick trip to the grill crisps up the skin for that irresistible charred flavor.
