Here are some of my favorites:

1. Pork Roast with apple saurkraut: 1 Pork Roast, 1 jar saurkraut, 1 granny smith apple, 3 T brown sugar, salt, pepper, onion. Season roast with salt and pepper and sear on all sides (opt.). Mix drained saurkraut with diced apple and brown sugar. Cut onion into quarters and place on bottom of crock pot. Top with roast and pour saurkraut over it. Cover and cook for 6 -8 hours. Serve with mashed potatoes and roasted veges.
2. Lasagne: 2 lbs turkey Italian sausage, 1/2 yellow onion, diced, 1 28 oz can tomato sauce, 1 15 oz can diced tomatos, 1 tsp fresh ground pepper, 3 T dried Italian herbs, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 16 oz box Velveeta cheese, 1 6 oz bag shredded Italian cheese, 12 sheets lasagne noodles. Remove sausage from casings and saute with onion. Drain if necessary and add tomato sauce, diced tomatos, pepper, herbs and olive oil. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes. Cut Velveeta into 1/2 inch slices. Boil pasta according to package directions. Layer sauce, pasta, sauce, cheeses, and repeat ending with sauce. Top with remaining cheeses and sprinkle generously with parmesan. Bake for 45 minutes or until bubbling and cheeses have melted. Serve with green salad and french bread.
3. Pork chops and Mac and Cheese: 4 -6 bone in 1/2 inch chops, 1 -2 packages Kraft Mac and Cheese, 1 3 oz package cream cheese, 2 T blue cheese crumbles, 2 oz fontina cheese, 1/2 yellow onion sliced into rings, 1/2 cup milk. Season pork chops generously with Seasoned Salt and pepper. Saute in olive oil until browned. Remove and drain excess oil. Add onions to oil and saute until translucent. Remove from oil and drain. Make mac and cheese according to package directions, adding additional cheeses and milk. Place in greased baking dish. Place chops on top of mac and cheese and top with grilled onions. Cover and bake for 30 - 40 minutes, or until chops are cooked thru. Serve with fresh green beans.

Jambalaya. I don't use a recipe, it's a "throw it together" kind of thing. I start with chicken and smoked sausage, tomatoes, onion, peppers, spices, and let it cook in the crockpot all day, then 30 minutes before serving, add shrimp and cooked rice. Yum!!!
