Warmer days are here but that doesn’t mean it’s time to put away the slow cooker. Definitely an all-year-round appliance for me, I especially like to cook with it during summer months. Delicious meals simmer away without heating up the house. These Sweet & Spicy Beef Tacos are a great weeknight meal to come home to after a long work day. It’s also a great recipe for summer entertaining that doesn’t keep you chained to the grill.
