Slow Cooker Sandwich Fillings

Slow cookers are still a fabulous way to make dinner.  The long slow cook makes for a tender and flavorful result.

You can let it cook all day and come home to the most wonderful smells.  Everything will be fork tender and ready to go.

This also makes it great for serving at casual parties.  It stays warm whenever people are hungry, just leave out all of the fixin's.

Lemon, yogurt and oregano are classic Greek flavors that come together in this impossibly easy slow cooker pita filling. The slow cooker makes the chicken tender and flavorful. A pita pocket holds it all together. Add some fresh veggies or tzatziki sauce and dig in!

These chicken Parmesan sandwiches are a perfect busy night dinner. The chicken cooks in the slow cooker all day so all you have to do is shred and assemble when you get home!

Instant Pot Sandwich Fillings

The pressure cooker does the work of the slow cooker in a fraction of the time.  It makes fork tender meat in no time. 

Pulled pork is one of our favorite party meals. Usually it takes all day on the smoker or in the slow cooker, but it doesn't have to. This root beer pulled pork is super flavorful and is made so much quicker.

Stove Top Sandwich Fillings

Of course a skillet is a fine place to make a meal as well.  Sometimes you just need to turn on the burner and whip up a quick dinner!

If you are looking for a super simple dinner for a busy night, maid rites are definitely a great answer! They are one of those dinners that nobody complains about and it will likely take you longer to make the sides than the main dish. Plus they scale so easily, so they are perfect for parties too.

Big gatherings call for big batches of food! These sloppy joe sandwiches are a perfect way to feed a crowd without a ton of effort. You could also make a big batch now and freeze it in smaller containers for quick and easy dinners later. Now that's meal planning!
