    My hubby's favorite:

    Stew meat (or another cut of beef of your choice) and a jar of your favorite salsa. Cook all day. The meat breaks apart.

    My DH likes it just the way it comes out of the crock pot, heaping scoop in a flour tortilla. I like mine over rice and steamed veggies for a complete meal. Hearty and healthy.

    One of my favorites that I haven't seen on here yet is chicken philly sandwiches. Throw some chicken breasts, sliced onion, sliced pepper and sliced mushrooms in the crock pot. With mine I usually do 5-6 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high. Then use a couple of forks to shred the meat. These are typically served on buns but I prefer to serve on tortillas / wraps - I get some that are 70 calories so it's a lot better than bread :) I also add cheese; I like Swiss but any kind will work!

    Boneless Center Cut Pork Chops (or whatever boneless, lean pork cut is cheapest) or boneless, skinless chicken breast... throw it in the crockpot, pour in enough coke/dr pepper/root beer to juuuust cover the meat. Low for 7-8 hours. Take out of the crockpot (leaving the remaining coke and juices behind) and shred. Mix with BBQ sauce! It's so good and so easy.

    MY favourite!

    not healthy but kids and hubby LOVE this one:

    4 skinless boneless chicken breast cubed

    spray crockpot with cooking spray. Place half tator tots in bottom place a layer of cheese on top, layer of bacon bits then chicken. Then cover chicken with bacon bits then tator tots finish with bacon bits and cheese on top. Pour about a cup of milk then cook on high for 4 hrs or low for 6.

    I'm making chicken curry tonight and it's SO GOOD.

    2-3 pounds chicken breast or thighs
    1 diced onion
    16 oz salsa or picante sauce
    2 tbs curry
    Cook on low 8 hours, add 1 cup sour cream 30 minutes before it's done.

    Definitely trying this one-sounds delicious!

    This will sound a little ridiculous but it is seriously the best pulled pork my husband and I have ever eaten:
    1 package of pork sirloin (2-3 lbs, always $1.99 at Costco)
    1 bottle BBQ sauce

    Put the pork in the crockpot (I do this straight from the freezer with no thawing time) and dump the BBQ sauce on top. Cook on low for at least 5-6 hours (all day is fine if you work.) Shred the pork and return it to the pot and cook it for a little while longer to soak up flavors! It won't look like much sauce at first but trust me, it ends up awesome!

    Also: Chicken Tacos!
    3-ish lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
    1 jar salsa
    1 packet taco seasoning (I find this really salty so I make my own to reduce salty taste.)

    Toss it together in the crockpot. Stir. Cook on low like the BBQ pork above, then shred and stir it up to soak up flavors. Serve on whole wheat tortillas with your favorite toppings. I like mixing another jar of salsa with some frozen corn kernels and heating on the stove. I also add lettuce and some shredded reduced fat cheese.

    I love doing the freezer thing too! That way before work in the morning you only have to dump everything in the crockpot turn it on and go to work! I find most of these on Pinterest!

    A few more than 5 ingredients, but most of them are seasonings. This one also works with beef chuck or bottom round, though it's higher in calories that way. Still not bad, but higher in calories. (I've never done it with pork, actually, since I'm allergic.)
    I've never bothered marinating the meat. Heck, sometimes I don't completely THAW the meat. Don't tell the USDA!
    And you can substitute ground ginger for the fresh. I don't think I've ever used fresh because I refuse to run to the store for one ingredient.

    A great source for crockpot recipes is Crockpot365.com. They're mostly kid-friendly since she's a mom, and ridiculously easy. Not necessarily low-calorie, but she generally keeps it healthy and without many processed ingredients.

    Haven't tried it yet (in the crock pot now), but I'm serving pulled pork tonight. I used pork loin (it was on sale, I was going to buy just pork butt/shoulder) and threw that in with beer (2 bottles since it was 5.8lbs of pork), cayanne, cumin, chili powder, and a tablespoon of brown sugar. I'm cooking that on low all day, and tonight I'll drain most of the liquid and add a bottle of BBQ sauce.

    If you add some apple cider vinegar and a binder like tomato paste you don't need to drain and add bbq sauce, you already made it.

    Love the apple cider vinegar and tomato paste idea. I love carolina style BBZ and always prefer the vinegar flavors opposed to the bottled BBZ sauces! Thanks
