Slow-cooker recipes...?

Question

I just broke in my new slow-cooker yesterday (burgundy beef--mmm!) and I'm very happy with it. But I need more recipes! It came with a little recipe booklet, but those recipes look pretty uninspired. Do you have an absolutely great one you'd be prepared to share with me? Thanks!!

Answer 4

Get some boneless skinless chicken breast, and some picante sauce (I generally use Pace picante hot) put in the chicken breast and cover it with the picante sauce, put it on the lowest setting and let it go all day. the chicken falls apart and gets a nice flavor from the picante sauce. Especially good over minute rice.
