What are some tasty slow cooker/ crock pot recipes?

I have a really nice crock pot/ slow cooker that I got for my wedding 2 years ago, but the only thing I know how to cook in it is beef stew. What are some tasty crock pot recipes? It would sure make my life easier, not having to cook dinner after working 9 hours. Thanks!!

    I definitely second the better homes and gardens link. Also check out their slow cooker cookbooks. There are 3 or 4 and they are fabulous. Until you get a chance try this.

    Take a roast. It should be about 2 – 4 lbs depending on how many people you need to feed. Put a Coke in it, enough to cover about 3/4 of the roast. Maybe stick some carrots, potatoes, and onions in there. Put in on low for about 8 hours (it’ll be ok for up to 10). It’s super easy and delicious.

    This is really great ! I have also just made it a skillet on the stove.

    Pizza Joes

    2 lb hamburger
    1 cup chopped onion
    1/2 cup chopped green peppers
    28 oz jar pizza sauce
    3.5 oz pkg sliced pepperoni, chopped
    1 tsp basil leaves
    1/2 tsp oregano leaves
    ( or sub. italian seasoning)
    18 sandwich buns, split
    8 ounces shredded Mozzarella cheese

    In 12 in. skillet, brown hamburger and onion
    Drain
    Spray cooker
    Sppon meat mixture into crock
    Add green pepper. pizza suace,pepperoni,, and seasonings
    Cover, cook on low for 4-6 hours
    Spoon 1/3 cup of mixture on bottom of buns
    Top each 2 tbsp of cheese
    Cover with top bun

    Italian Beef
    1 (4 to 5 pound) boneless sirloin tip roast
    2 teaspoons oregano
    2 teaspoons basil
    1 envelope onion soup mix
    1 clove garlic
    1 1/2 cups water

    Add water and spices to crockpot. Add roast. Stir. Cook on LOW for 10 to 12 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours.

    Slice beef thinly and serve inside rolls with a small amount of the gravy.

    Chicken and Dumplings
    4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in small chunks
    2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup
    1/4 cup onion, finely diced
    2 cups water
    2 (10 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuits
    1 chicken bouillon cube

    Combine all ingredients, except biscuits, in crock pot. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours.

    Thirty minutes before serving, tear biscuit dough into 1-inch pieces. Add to crock pot, stirring gently. Cover and cook on HIGH for an additional 30 minutes or until biscuits are fluffy and cooked through.

    Ribs
    Add a bit of water and onions
    I like to sprinkle mine with cajun seasonings
    Cook on high a couple hours
    Then turn to low, remember to turn them now and then
    Cook for several hours
    Drain off all the grease
    Pour a bottle of bbq sauce over ribs
    Heat til warm
    Do not cook long in sauce as it will turn to grease
    They will fall off the bone and melt in your mouth
