Crock Pot Banh Mi Bowls - A light and delicious dinner idea that comes out of your slow cooker and is filled with all the great flavors and textures of a Banh Mi Sandwich! #BanhMi #Light #Healthy #CrockPot #SlowCookerCrock Pot Banh Mi Bowls are a healthy and simple recipe that comes out of your slow cooker and is filled with all the great flavors and textures of a Banh Mi Sandwich. Instead of the tranditional sandwich on a crusty piece of bread, we are adding in some rice, tossing it in a slow cooker and topping it with lightly pickled vegetables and sriracha mayo with Greek yogurt. All of the flavors and texture come together beautifully for a delicious dinner idea.

Crock Pot Bahn Mi Bowls

Last night we played our final games of the season for the recreational volleyball league we participate in each winter. I only joined the team a couple of years ago and by no means a great volleyball player, but these ladies have a lot of fun with it and we do alright. In the past we have always taken second place at the tournament and apparently that tradition goes many years back even before my time.

We did what we always do and lost the second game of the tournament last week which put us in the looser’s bracket. So last night we were bound and determined to fight our way back to the championship game. We expected nothing more than second place at the championship game, but we wanted to be there none the less!

We made it to the championship game and to all of our surprise, we ended up winning the whole tournament! YAY! By the last match of the fourth game that evening we were all running on some seriously low energy. We managed to pull it out thankfully so we didn’t have to play yet another match. Four hours of volleyball later, we were champions…and we were TIRED! We barely managed to huddle together for a quick team picture and we were all out of there to get home to our nice hot showers and soft comfortable beds.

When did we all become so old and out of shape?! Well I guess I should just speak for myself, but I remember as a teen playing hours and hours of basketball, softball, etc in the hot summer sun without it even phasing me. Now, as an adult, recreational volleyball in a gym has done me in. Getting old sucks and apparently I really need to hit the cardio harder at the gym!

    Thank you so much for this recipe! I can’t find a Vietnamese sandwich shop within 100 miles of me and I’m craving a Bahn Mi like crazy!

      I feel you Heather! I live in a small town and the only time I can have a Banh Mi is when campus dining services has it for a special…and well, usually those aren’t that great. I have to resort to making my own but I felt this Crock Pot bowl was a bit easier than a traditional sandwich!

    I made this before and it was amazing! Wanted to try with pork tenderloin, do you think it would work in this recipe?

      Hey Ilene, you could use tenderloin, it just won’t shred the same, but you could cut it up after its done cooking.
