Sure tons!!

And if you work during the day, it can be amazing for coming home to super delicious meals!!

Tons of things its good for:

Chili (slow cooked all day, super yum, with tender steak bits).
Chicken (roasted chicken, cover with a bit of grey poupon mustard, fill cavity with 1/2 onion, rest sprinkled around the outside, pepper, bell pepper, 1/2 stick of non-salted butter), on low all day.

Roasts. Always get chuck roast, make sure it's a chuck and not a round/rump etc, there is a huge difference. Also slow cook all day, sear the roast first, add a bit of tomatoe sauce (prego works well), season all/garlic/onions/bell peppers to the pot. It adds flavor if you use some caberete sovingion as well but simmier on the stove first to remove the alcohol. So delicious (if slow cooking for this and the chicken, I suggest doing the veggies/potatoes seperate so they are crunchy and yum when you get home.

Pasta sauce is great, especially if you like meatballs or itallian sausage. You can start with prego base (Saves time), go with whatever flavor you like (I usually do basil or garlic ones), add about 1/3 a pound of ground beef per bottle of prego sauce and 1 itallian sausage link (mild), cut up and broken into pieces, per 2 (I still only use 1 if I make 3 jars at once). Brown the meats, then add them to the crock pot, add the sauce to the crock pot, again, adds flavor to simmer some wine (red) and add that as well. Add 1 bell pepper (broken into 3 large pieces for easy removal), and some very finely diced onions.

For the meatballs, add spices to the meat,mix well, then make them into little mini flying saucers (more flat then round..but thick). This lets you char more of the outside, do that to all of them and add them to the sauce (you can sautee the onions now if you want as well). Finally brown the rest of the itallian suasages and add them, stir, and cook on slow all day.

Tons more, but yeah, a crockpot is awesome when your working and still want really good meals!!
