14 Crock Pot Sandwiches
Crock Pot sandwiches are the perfect dinner idea for a busy weeknight or feeding a crowd at a special gathering. Make one of these sandwich fillings right in the slowcooker and then hit the "KEEP WARM" setting until you're ready to serve.

We try our best to make sure we have a sit-down family dinner as often as we can but as the kids get older, it is getting so much harder to coordinate.
Some nights, we have just 15 minutes to eat together and I have no time to be fussing over a dinner recipe.
These Crock Pot sandwich recipes are perfect for making earlier in the day (or the day before!) and then simply using the KEEP WARM setting to keep them ready for serving in our tiny pocket of dinnertime.
If you're hosting an Open House or big family gathering for a holiday or party, a sandwich buffet would make a perfectly easy way to feed a crowd, too.
Mix and match one or even two of these sandwich ideas for a buffet spread everyone at your party will love.
How to Set Up a Crockpot Sandwich Bar
Pick one of my easy crockpot sandwich recipes from the list below and keep the sandwich filling warm on your buffet table using the KEEP WARM setting on the slowcooker.
With your sandwich filling bubbling away in the Crock Pot, just keep a few of these things ready for easy grabbing when you're ready to serve:
- Sandwich Buns or Rolls
- Slices of Cheese
- Condiments
- Bag of Potato Chips or Tortilla Chips
- Raw Veggie Platter (Or just even a bag of baby carrots!)
- Fresh Fruit
Crock Pot Italian Beef Sandwiches
This zippy Crock Pot Italian beef sandwiches recipe is so tender when it slow cooks all day in your slowcooker.
Use the shredded Italian beef to top crusty Italian buns with melty provolone cheese and pickled pepper garnish.
Crock Pot French Dip Sandwiches
You can make my Crockpot French dip sandwiches in a slowcooker or in your dutch oven in the oven.
In either case, be sure to serve little cups of this delicious, rich beefy au just for dipping!
Crock Pot Pulled Pork
You can make pulled pork in the oven or the slow cooker. I love how hands-free my Crockpot makes this recipe! But even if you cook it first in the oven, you can keep it warm on a buffet table in a slowcooker.
The pulled pork is seasoned but not sauced, which means you can drizzle it with whatever BBQ sauce your family loves most. We love this light and tangy BBQ sauce or this Alabama BBQ sauce is a fun twist.
Crock Pot Sloppy Joes
This awesome make-ahead sloppy joe sandwich filling can be kept warm in the slowcooker for a sandwich bar on a busy night or for a party. You could do the same with my ground turkey sloppy joe filling if you prefer.
Just serve a big platter of hamburger buns and let your family and friends scoop up their own sandwiches!
Crock Pot Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes
This same method you used for the sloppy joes above would also work with my Philly cheesesteak sloppy joes recipe.
This fun twist on Sloppy Joe mix is loaded with extra peppers and ooey-gooey provolone cheese for the buns.
You could prep the filling and then keep it warm in the Crockpot until you're ready to serve dinner.
Crock Pot BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
I love taking this shredded BBQ Crockpot chicken thighs recipe and turning them into BBQ Chicken slider sandwiches!
You can keep the meat warm in the slowcooker and let everyone build their own BBQ chicken sandwiches, too. Set out a jar of homemade chow chow relish to top them.
Slowcooker Hot Honey Chicken
If you love hot honey recipes like I do, you will love this easy slowcooker hot honey chicken when it is piled high on a brioche bun with a tangy slaw or crispy pickles.
Set out this creamy angel hair coleslaw or a jar of homemade chow chow relish to top them with an additional drizzle of hot sauce over the top.
Crock Pot Turkey and Gravy Sandwiches
Start with this easy slowcooker boneless turkey breast recipe. To serve it for sandwiches, place the tender chunks of turkey breast in the turkey gravy and keep the entire mixture warm in your slowcooker on the buffet table.
Lay out fresh slices of Italian bread and let everyone make an open face turkey sandwich. This is my kids' favorite part of the day after Thanksgiving and how we use up our turkey leftovers every year.
Crockpot Italian Chicken Sandwiches
You can prep this tomato-based Crockpot Italian chicken sandwich filling in just 5 minutes. Toast up your favorite crusty buns and add some provolone cheese and dinner is served.
Hawaiian Chicken Crockpot Sandwiches
I think the cool and creamy angel hair coleslaw makes these Hawaiian chicken crockpot sandwiches even better but you could serve it as an optional side dish if you prefer.
Crock Pot Meatball Subs
I usually make the Italian meatballs in tomato sauce for these subs in a skillet on the stovetop but a Crockpot would be a brilliant way to keep the meatballs warm.
Let your friends and family dish up their own meatball subs with warm, tomato sauce meatballs on sub rolls.
Crock Pot Bourbon Chicken Sandwiches
This shredded Crockpot bourbon chicken is so tender in the slowcooker.
Pile it up on crusty sandwich rolls for an easy bourbon chicken sandwich.
Crock Pot Cuban Pulled Pork Sandwiches
You could make my mojo Cuban pork in the slowcooker or in the oven. But if you want to serve it for a sandwich buffet for dinner, just keep the shredded meat warm in the Crockpot and let everyone build their own Cuban pulled pork sandwiches.
Serve it with sliced provolone and crispy pickles on crusty bread.
Crock Pot New Orleans Roast Beef Po'Boy
If you're hosting a football party or Mardi Gras open house, this delicious New Orleans roast beef po'boy sandwich would be the perfect pick.
Be sure to serve it with sliced tomatoes, dill pickles, shredded lettuce, and melted cheese.
