Slow cooker recipes required please

Anyone out there have any yummy slow cooker recipes ? Did chicken with sweet smoky paprika and chorizo in the week and I am converted. Last years attempts were naff.
Often back from work at different times so this seems a good idea to get the slow cooker out agian.

My recipes are what I make up so I don't have measures.
Pork with chick peas in tomato sauce.
I either use cube pork or belly pork cut up about 400g
1 medium onion
carrotts (up to you how many)
tin of plum tomatoes (chopped up)
1tsp tomato puree
chick peas either from a can or dried (if using dried soak overnight) drained.
cumin 1/4tsp
sprinkling of orgeano.
Pinch of sugar
Salt & pepper to taste.
Fry the onion and pork to seal in a pan with a little veg oil.
Put into slow cooker and had the rest of ingredients stir and had a little more water.
Leave to cook and will be ready to serve with cous-cous which takes 5 mins to prepare.
Hope you like if you try

It's supposed to serve 6 with left overs, but as I carve the meat and keep sampling it, (well you won't want to serve up a bad meal would you?) it tends to go for 4. Bad news is 524 calories per serving.
Normally served with casserole of potatoes & mushrooms and brussels sprouts, if you want the recipes for them just say.

The Americans refer to slow cookers as crockpots so if you pop that into Goggle you'll find loads of recipes!

Well...... I seem to remember it went something like this....
Chicken pieces(skinned), onion, 1/2 smoked salami/chorizzo thingy, herbs, tin of chopped toms, smoked paprika and mushrooms. And a tin Of ratatouille (sp). Which must have snuck into the house as I would never have bought such a beast. Chuck it in and blast it for a few hours.

We only can get the 3ltr and the 6 ltr pan because not many people are using them.

I cook lambs liver (as well as other dishes) in the slow cooker to make a sort of a soup but more substantial. Don't know quantities, I spend about £3 on the liver and the bacon for 3-4 people.
Soak liver overnight in water, rinse thoroughly, cut into small pieces.
Lightly fry chopped onions, liver, in deep stir-fry pan for about 5 mins.
Add about 1/4 bottle cheap red wine, 2 stock cubes, mix walnut sized piece of butter and cornflour with water, add water, chopped carrots, chopped potato the same size as carrots, plenty of tomatoes, (in winter I use my frozen puree or dried ones or even tinned ones) and peas or beans or whatever small green things I have. Bring to boil.
Put into slow cooker and leave all day. Serve in soup bowls with streaky bacon (crispy) placed on top at the last moment and hot crusty bread.

I am also one to enjoy these slow cooked foods, but we tend to do them in the oven on low ...
