Do you ever wonder what to serve with your slow cooker meals?  Here are some ideas if you feel that you need a “go with.”

• Sandwich. For some of these wonderful slow cooker dishes, you may want to include a side sandwich (for instance, with soups), such as a grilled cheese sandwich.  Some fantastic sandwich combinations can be found here, but feel free to be creative and use what you have, such as using ham slices as the outside of a “wrap” and filling it with a slice of cheese, spinach, dill pickle slices, and roasted red bell peppers.  This wrap is a favorite it our home.
• Side salad.  Perhaps an easy cucumber avocado salad or one of these kid friendly pasta salads would compliment your slow cooker meal.  Or maybe a simple green salad, with romaine, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and dressing would satisfy your salad craving.
• Vegetable.  Keep frozen vegetables on hand so that they are ready to quickly microwave and use as a side dish.  We always have canned black eyed peas, field peas, and other canned beans and peas ready for a quick side also.  If we are in a big hurry, rather than sauteing onions to use in the vegetables, we’ll use onion and/or garlic powder.
• Fruit.  A fresh, seasonal fruit is always welcome as a side.  Or you could serve a fruit salad, such as this Apple Cinnamon Waldorf Salad.  We also keep an assortment of frozen fruit on hand in case we run out of fresh.
•  Leftovers.  Another idea is to serve a leftover, such as leftover chicken, along with a slow cooker dish, such as the pumpkin macaroni and cheese.

Once you do your prep work and throw everything into the crock pot, you’re free to do the dozens of other things on your list!
