At this time of year, we can't take the heat, so we are getting out of the kitchen whenever we can! A slow-cooked supper helps us savor every second of sunny summer days. With just a few minutes of prep in the morning and a flick of the switch, you're on your way to the pool or out to the garden.
Today's slideshow is all about summertime slow-cooker classics. Not just for dinnertime, your slow-cooker can help you take amazing appetizers like Chipotle-Black Bean Dip to your get-togethers and create delicious desserts like Mom's Blueberry Cobbler for after supper too. We have all your mealtime bases covered...three cheers for summer slow cooking!

Mom's Blueberry Cobbler
We always knew Mom made the best blueberry cobbler, but we never knew making it in the slow cooker was this easy! A super-simple recipe from 101 Slow-Cooker Recipes, this is one of the best way to enjoy those delicious, juicy berries.
2 8-oz. tubes refrigerated biscuits, quartered and divided
1/3 c. brown sugar, packed
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/3 c. butter, melted
21-oz. can blueberry pie filling, divided
Layer one tube of biscuits in a slow cooker that has been sprayed with non-stick vegetable spray. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon and butter until just combined; sprinkle half of mixture over biscuits. Spread half of pie filling over top. Layer with remaining biscuits; sprinkle with remaining brown sugar mixture and top with remaining pie filling. Cover and cook on high setting for 2-1/2 to 3 hours, until biscuits are golden. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
