I don't know if you would be interested in this one, it's a bit different, but it's one that I cook for my family and we love it.

Thai beef and Green Bean Curry

Ingredients:

Peanut oil or other for frying; 1 onion; 2 cloves garlic; 2 Tablespoons red curry paste (you may need to use less because it can be pretty spicey - play around with this); 400ml tin of coconut cream; 1 stalk lemongrass; 750g lean cubed beef (a stewing cut); 2 Tablespoons corriander seeds; 200g green beans, fish sauce, pepper (honey and cashews to finish are optional)

Method:

saute finely diced onions in oil, add garlic. Don't let the garlic brown and go bitter. Add curry paste and stir 4-5 min. Add bruised lemon grass stalk and cook further 2 minutes with coconut cream. Bring to boil. From here, you can go to the crock pot. Add beef (add 1 Tablespoon honey if desired) simmer as long as you like (if you are doing this on the stove instead of a crockpot you would cook it for 1.5 - 2.5 hours also depending on the cut of beef). Dry roast the corriander seeds, grind (mortar and pestle - or just use corriander powder) and stir into the curry. In the last 20 minutes add the topped and tailed green beens, a splash of fish sauce, squeeze of lemon juice and pepper to taste. When serving, top with toasted cashews, and serve on a bed of fluffy jasmine or basmati rice.

we like to put thick butterfly pork chops in the pot then cover with your favorite bbq sauce - cook on low about 6 - 8 hrs .. they are so tender they basically just fall apart

or

slice an onion and bell pepper and place in bottom of pot; then place a marinated round steak on top of that; add a can of stewed tomatoes, mushrooms, some soy sauce and garlic to taste - cook on low 6 - 8 hrs and serve over rice or mashed potatoes

1 can cream of mushroom soup

Brown stew beef in skillet. Place in crock pot with soups, onion soup mix, water, and mushrooms. Cook 6-8 hours on low. One-half hour before serving, add sour cream to mixture. Serve over egg noodles.

*******CROCK POT PEPPER STEAK

1 - 2 lb. round steak, cut into 1 inch pieces

1 onion, thinly sliced

2 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 can tomato soup

1/2 empty soup can filled with water

1 green pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

Place cut steak, onion, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce into crock pot. Pour in soup and water. Cook on high for 1 hour. Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours. The last hour of cooking, put pepper in.

My favorite recipe is Crock pot chicken,

Take 3 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast and put them in a crockpot, add garlic powder, italian seasoning, and janes mixed up salt usually about 1 tsp of each or to your taste and sprinkle over top of chicken. open 2 cans of chicken broth and pour over top of chicken. cook on low for 12 hours or more (i set mine up the night before and my chicken is usually frozen). It is really good and falls apart. I like to serve mine on a bed of mashed potatoes. Good thing about this recipe is that any broth and left over chicken can be used to make a really good chicken noodle soup. Just add canned carrots, peas and 1-2 cans of cream or chicken soup with any additional water, and egg noodles. boil your noodles separtatly on the stove they will melt in the crock pot.

for greasy meats I usually render some of the fat out in a skillet before I put it into the crock pot.

Try making different soups.

Beans are good in the crock.

My favorite is pork roast, whole potatoes ,carrots and celery.

sausage casserole is my fav what my mum cooks but i cant remember how she make sit she start with onions carrots and leeks in water cooks them then adds stewing steak and some bolognaise sauce, herbs spices and cheap sausages (cheap just seem to work better for some reason than 99% pork)
