The crock pot is an amazingly easy way of cooking up a huge man sized pile of eating. You cram it full of good quality food (meats & veggies) and the only thing that can hold you back is your imagination. I really believe that you cannot go wrong with any combination of ingredients and spices. You can prep it the night before and leave it cooking all day while you're at work or you can leave it cooking all night as you sleep and have it ready to satisfy your next couple of meals. Just remember to stock up on some good tupperware. This is the Healthy Man Food Crock Pot Series.
