Good Crock Pot Recipes

Threw a roast in the crockpot this morning before going to a dr.'s appointment. Got a 3 1/2 lb. angus choice chuck roast, i believe. I'm pretty excited about it.
I took the roast, and cut a few slits in it and stuffed with garlic. Then grinded some black pepper and kosher salt and sprinkled all over. Heated up a pan with some olive oil and seared it good on all sides. Had a very pretty look to it. Opened up the crock pot and threw in some onions, garlic, jalapenos, carrots, and turnips. Placed the roast on top, then covered with remaining vegetables. Mixed together a can of cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup, and veal stock, and poured that on top. Then sprinkled with some thyme and sage and its on low and slow for 9 hours. FWIW, i've made crock pot roast before, but this one just looked incredible after the sear.
What are some of your set and forget quick recipes for the crock pot? I have 2 and need to utilize this more so i don't have to worry about food when i get home from work.

Easiest thing ever:
chicken breasts
packet of taco seasoning
jar of salsa
When you get home, you have shredded chicken taco/nacho meat that is delicious. I do it all the time.

Red beans (or any beans) and sausage, just throw in stock, garlic, and onion, a few dashes of angostura bitters. When you get home, take out some of the beans, blend them up, and cook the rice.
Taco soup- Ground meat, taco seasoning, black beans, pinto beans, corn, and stock. When you get home, eat with rice or chips.
Chili- is very easy, can tomatoes, tomato paste, ground meat, stock, chili seasoning (create your own), bean is that is your thing
Roast is the obvious favorite- carrots, potatoes, mushrooms
I've experimented with trying to make gumbo in the crock pot, no great success yet, but I'm close.

Great thing about a croc pot is you can make your own recipes. Just get some meat you like and vegetables and throw it all together.

My latest favorite is spare ribs. Cut them up throw them in the pot with some lime juice, bbq sauce, srirachi for heat, and whatever spices you like. Let it cook for 5 or 6 hours.

The thread below has some recipes and also a post with multiple links to some other threads that might interest you.
ETA: I forgot to put in the link! Sorry about that!

I've done Pioneer Woman's drip roast in the crock pot for sandwiches and it's quite good.
Other than beef or pork roast, I can't think of much I've cooked in the crock pot other than some stocks. I tried crock pot French onion soup recently and it was pretty good, though I think when I doubled the recipe, it may have been too many onions for them to actually caramelize as the recipe indicated they would. The flavor from them was quite good in the soup, though. I had to turn it up to high for a while to get them to brown more, though.

That smothered pork roast recipe in the TD Recipe book can be cooked in a crock pot.
It's amazing.

My favorite thing in a crock pot is a Boston Butt, injected with Mojo Criollo marinade, and cooked on high for about 8 hours. I also do the same with a turkey breast until it falls apart.

Pork Carnitas I'll make it when I have a lot of people to feed.
5 lb Boston butt
1 onion
1 fresh jalapeño
1 chilpolte pepper in adobo sauce
4 cloves garlic
2 oranges juiced
Simple rub of dried oregano, cumin and salt. Throw it all in the crock pot for about 8 hours. When falling apart place on a baking pan lined with foil. Pour some of the juices over the top. Place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the pork begins to crisp up. Serve on corn or flour tortillas.
