A really easy one we like is BBQ beef/pork:
Put one chunch of beef or pork (any cut - about 3 pounds) into your crockpot. Pour 3 cans of beef broth over and cook on low for 6 hours. Drain broth (can be saved and froze for soup) pour one bottle BBQ sauce over and 1/2 stick butter and return to cook on low for 2-3 hours or Hi for 1 hour.
Sure, it's an old german recipe, and it's sooo simple.
1LB ham cut into bite size pieces
Green beans (as many or little as you like) I use 2, 8oz cans
Potatoes, 2 - 3 "good size", cut into 1/2 - 1" squares
Put into crock, fill crock almost to top with water.
Cook on low all day (8 - 10 hrs)
It's so simple but soooo good

Crock Pot Chicken Salsa Curry
10 chicken thighs-bone in
1 jar of your fav salsa
1/2 onion chopped
1 tablespoon curry (or about 1/2 if you don't like a strong curry taste)
1/2 cup sour cream
Place the chicken in the crock pot. Mix the onion, curry and salsa. Pour over the chicken and cook on low for about 6-8 hours.
When the chicken is done take it out of the crock pot and put on a serving plate. Add the sour cream and mix well. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
This would go well with rice or cous cous.
If you don't have crock pot I would think that you could do this in you oven in a well wrapped pan on low (about 200) check it though since it may cook faster. I haven't done it in the oven but as I said I think it should work. I did it in the crock pot and it was awesome. This recipe is easy to do smaller portions of as well.
Rice:
When adding the liquid to rice I never really measure it out with a measuring cup. I learned this from my mom-in-law. Just pour in the rice and then gently place your pointer finger on top of the rice, slowly add cool water to a knuckle and half past the rice. Place on the stove and turn on high un-covered until the rice starts to boil. Reduce the heat to a medium low and cover with a tight fitting lid. The rice should be done in about 20 min. Fluff with a fork add some butter and enjoy.

DIRECTIONS

Zesty Beer Meatballs
* 3 lbs. lean ground beef
* 1 cup chopped onions, divided
* 1/2 cup fine dry seasoned bread crumbs
* 3 eggs
* 1 can (12 ounces) of beer
* 1 (6 oz) can spicy V-8 juice or use regular V-8
* 1 tsp. lemon juice
* 1 tsp. hot sauce
* salt and pepper to taste
* 1 large bottle (14 to 16 ounces) ketchup
* 1 tsp. horseradish
* 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
PREPARATION:
Combine ground beef, 1/2 cup onions, seasoned bread crumbs, and eggs. Make the mixture into small meatballs. Cook meatballs in a large skillet, turning to brown all sides, or bake in the oven until browned, about 30 minutes at 375°.
Drain meatballs and discard fat. In saucepan combine remaining ingredients. Simmer for 15 minutes. Put meatballs and sauce into slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 6 hours. Gently stir the meatballs occasionally. To make them more saucy, add a little more ketchup and V-8, along with seasonings, to taste. Makes about 6 dozen meatballs.
Crock pot barbecue:
to crock pot add:
Pork tenderloins or a large pork roast.
1 cup vinegar
1 cup water
Cook on high overnight.
Drain. Shred the meat. Discard fat and bone if you used a whole pork roast. Return to crock pot and stir in your favorite barbecue sauce to taste. Reheat for about 30 minutes and serve on rolls with a good cole slaw.
Small package of chicken breast in strips,, (frozen, you'll need that water)
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of cerely soup
Put the chicken in frozen and add soup, cook!
I serve it over rice
Chili... Yum!
Bar-b-que Beef
Find the toughest roast in the store. Season to taste and it in the crock pot with a bit of vinegar (to break down the fibres). Cook on low heat for 10-12 hours. Use two forks to pull the meat fibres apart (shred) and turn back into the pot with a generous amount of bar-b-que sauce. An hour later, you've got the most tender bar-b-que beef. Serve on fresh buns with onions, pickles, cheese and a side salad.
This is a favorite summer meal. I throw the roast into the pot the night before and let it cook outside overnight. (it makes the neighborhood cats crazy!!)
