    One chicken breast and cover with your about a half of a jar favorite salsa (I like walmarts mango lime) cook all day. Shred and serve in a taco shell, or with rice, or however you want. Add a nice salad on the side One of my go to meals.

    I didn't read through all the other posts to see if I'm repeating something, but I wanted to give some input.

    The best crockpot tip I ever heard was concerning a lamp timer. If you want to use your crockpot to cook dinner while you're at work, it can be hard to find recipes that take a full day to cook. This is where the lamp timer comes in. You can set it to start at, say, 2:30 PM, so that your 3 hrs crockpot recipe is done by the time you get home at 5:30 PM. However, you also want to maintain safe cooking conditions -- don't put thawed chicken into a crockpot that's not gonna start cooking for 6 hours. Instead, start with a frozen or partially frozen chicken so that it thaws during the pre-cooking period.

    As for recipes, a lot of people like the convenience of cooking steel cut oats in a crockpot overnight so that it's ready for breakfast. Yum!

    This is the best advice I have heard in quite some time. I never thought of that! I always did my crockpotting on the weekends because I was scared of burning the house down, or even worse, burning my beef stew after 10 hours of cooking while I'm at work!
