What is your FAV SLOW COOKER Recipe?

Here's one of my favorites, sorry in advance for taking up so much room on the message board with it. . .:blushing:
Crockpot Lasagna

I've made a version of this with Boca Ground (a soy meat replacement) instead of turkey/chicken for a vegetarian friend. Loved it, but it was almost too good -- hard to put the fork down. I like ripe olives in mine too.

Roast a chicken? Rub chicken with salt, pepper and some mix of spices. I throw in some paprika and my next one will probably involve some ground cumin. Place chicken in your crock pot and on low for 6-8 hours.

From here, I've taken the meat to make chicken enchiladas, burrito bowl, and a chicken and broccoli casserole. Many possibilities.

ETA. Okay, how do I delete a double post?

I always make a huge batch of this after Thanksgiving and freeze individual portions (1.5 c) and freeze them so I can grab one for lunch when I am in a rush. I usually am assured a homemade lunch for at least two weeks.

I'm curious as to how to you freeze the individual servings. Pour it into Ziploc bags? Pour into saved plastic containers then once frozen empty it into something else for storage?

I've poured excess broth into ice cube trays to freeze so I could have a "shot" of flavor to add into a dish, but it seems a bit unwieldy with serving sizes.

I love fresh Polish sausage in the crock:

2-3 cans of low sodium beef broth
1-2 large onions - chopped
1 bag of sauerkraut

Layer the kraut, onions and sausage and then pour the broth over the top - cook all day and OMG.........yummy
