Crock pot recipes

Sorry for the boring post, but I'm hoping for some bites. DH does almost all of the cooking in our house, but I am trying to learn at least a few easy meals. Specifically, I am thinking about making a bunch of crock pot meals when I'm home on maternity in Feb since we'll both probably be too busy to really cook.
I already have a good recipe for French dip and one for pulled BBQ chicken. If you have a crock pot recipe you swear by, can you link or post it here?

Crockpot Italian Beef is amazing. I seer the roast on the stove first. Then when the meat is done I add shredded italian cheese to the hoagie and toast it under the broiler to get a warm,melty,crunchy deliciousness.

I have been making this crock pot Jambalaya lately and everyone loves it.  It's pretty healthy and makes a ton of leftovers.  My kids will even eat it!!

-You take 2 bags of frozen diced green peppers and onions and put them on the bottom of the crock pot.  (The last few times I've just cut up g. peppers and onion and put them in at the end).
-put 3-4 frozen chicken breasts on top of that (or on the bottom if you don't do the frozen veggies)
-I cut up a whole turkey kielbasa sausage and throw that on top of the chicken.
-1.5 cans of Ro-tel (diced tomatoes with green chillies) on top of that
-2 cups of water
-just the seasoning packet from a box of Jambalaya rice mix

I cook all of that on low for about 9 hours (that how long I'm gone during the day).  When I get home from work I throw 2 cups of brown rice in there and turn it on high for about 30-45 minutes until the rice soaks most of the juice up.  This is also when I throw in my peppers and onions.

I have also added shrimp to it too.  It's SO good!  It's a little spicy, but not bad at all.  Again, my kids will eat it.

here's the crockpot tag from my blog:

favorites are probably the asian pork, shredded beef tacos, and potato soup: https://ellysaysopa.com/category/crockpot/

BBQ chicken

Pulled pork

Salsa verde chicken

Hawaiian meatballs

Italian sloppy joes

Chicken taco soup

I also do spaghetti sauce, chicken noodle soup, chicken and dumplings, and chicken with various herbs and/or spices (pesto chicken, Greek rub chicken, herb rubbed chicken). I use the crockpot several times a week, mostly to save time and because I can cook or prep it during naptime and then not have a toddler hanging on my legs at 5:00 when I'm trying to cook.

Thanks for all the awesome suggestions! I've bookmarked and will be working my way through the list. Starting with sloppy joes I think, since DH talks about them a lot but I've actually never had one.
