Pool days, soaking up the sun at the beach, a day at the park with friends and family… with so many fun things to do outside, the last thing anyone wants to think about is preparing dinner. While picking up something on the way home is an option, it’s not always a great option for the wallet. We’re sharing an assortment of dinner recipes that are prepared in the slow cooker or require minimal work on the stove before baking. These summer dump dinners won’t have you spending a ton of time in the kitchen.
