Crock pot recipe ideas

[jrejhkids]

Hello,

I am in need of some crock pot recipes that can be in the crock pot for 10 hours.  Our baby has gone off to college and now I have to start cooking again.  I am usually gone 10 hours in the day, and my crock pot does not have a delay start. 

Does anyone have some good recipes for 2 that can be done in the crock pot - both meatless and with meat.  We don't mind leftovers, but I don't want to have leftovers each meal. 

Having raised 4 children, I am still having a hard time cutting recipes down.  I did better last week, but we don't want to be eating soup every night.

Thank you.

This is one our new favorites.

It says cook on high for 8 hours but I think it would be fine for 10 hours on high.  No soaking of the beans makes it nice!

I add in a can of diced green chiles too and one time I added in some cooked, diced bacon (just a little bit but it was wonderful!)

Also, we like beef roast with potatoes and carrots, cooked on low all day.

Chili is another favorite of ours.
