What's a good summer time recipe for the slow cooker / crock pot?

So, I've got some friends coming down from Calgary to visit tomorrow. And they're going to get here, like, when they get here. Depending on road construction on the Trans-Canada highway, traffic in British Columbia, and congestion at the border. Yada, yada, yada.

I want to cook something that can sit there in the crock pot and be yummy for whenever they get here. I usually do chili or beef stew for this kind of thing in the winter, but it seems a little out of place in July. Got any tips for a slow cooker recipe that's summer-tastic?

    I've been trying to figure out summer crock pot recipes too - we have a little crock pot cookbook with a "hearty sandwiches" section that looks good for warm weather. Here are a few of the sandwich recipes:

    pulled pork sandwich
    bahn mi sandwich
    gyro sandwich
    jamaican jerk chicken sandwich
    barbecue lentil sandwich

    I think the pulled pork recipe in particular would hold up well, since you're supposed to cook it low & slow anyways. When your friends get there, mix in the barbecue sauce and pile it on buns with coleslaw. The lentil sandwich also sounds good but the lentils might get too mushy sitting in the crock pot too long.

    You can find recipes like these online - look for slow cooker (sandwich name) recipe and see what looks good and has good reviews. If I had actually tried any I would post the recipe and/or a link, but my crock pot is sadly underused.
