No seriously, I think that crock pots rock! I still have my nineties ivy patterned crock, and I just got a second, larger one from Costco(it's digital, turns off by itself, and has a warm feature)
Why two crock pots? Well, in my world, if one is good, two is better. And honestly, I have had situations where I could have used to ( like beans in one, meat in another) Plus, I'm Mormon, nuff said.
Sooooo, while I do have some yummy, simple go-to recipes, I would love some more.
One's that tell you to put in some meat, and a can/jar/envelope of this, and viola!
Here are two all time fave's:
Sassy Shredded Pork
5 lbs pork loin
16 oz jar of salsa
1 c. brown sugar
1 can soda(you can use diet)
Now, put it on low for like 8 hours and shred.
So fab for tacos and taco salad, always a hit!
Mexican Shredded Chicken
5 chicken breasts (can start off frozen)
1 envelope of 3 tbs taco seasoning
1-2 cans Rotel
Same thing, cook for 2-3 on high or
4-5 on low, and shred.
So, as you can tell, I need some variety, help a girl out :)

Yummmmm! Ok, I think I'll be trying the chicken one for tomorrow night! I'll look in my bag of tricks for some other CP recipes you might like.
Okay, so I found a spelling error in my last comment. I don't know how to edit it. So....
Our family favorite is:
Cranberry Chicken
3 lbs. chicken breast
1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 cup barbeque sauce
dash of dried minced onion
salt and pepper to taste
Cook on low for 6 hours. Shred and serve over rice.
Here's one we love. Southwest Chicken
chicken
16 oz. jar of salsa
can of black beans
cup of corn
Cook on low for 8 hrs or high for 4
Sometimes we double the amount of salsa and add a can of kidney or pinto beans. We eat it with rice or tortillas or just chips.
I just tried two recipes that were really great and use up some of that food storage, i.e. beans! I will get them to you as soon as I type them up because my sister wants them too! I am glad I am not along in my love for my two crockpots!
The one our family likes is Ranch Chicken.
2 lbs. Boneless/skinless chicken breasts
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg dry ranch dressing mix
Mix soup and dressing mix in crock pot, add chicken and stir to coat chicken. Cook on high for 3 hrs.
Serve with mashed potatoes.
