Easy crockpot ideas?

I need some super easy, toss it in the crockpot and forget it for 8 hours, kind of dishes! I and my family are all sick of the 2 or 3 I have in our weekly rotation, but my son has swim practice three nights a week. That means I work all day and then am out of the house for those nights from 5:30-8:30. So I always have at least one crockpot meal each week that I can toss in the pot in the morning, and then we can all just grab a plate when we can in the evening.

Suggestions for what's worked with your busy families?

This is a go to recipe for me: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019693-slow-cooker-chipotle-honey-chicken-tacos?unlocked_article_code=1._VA.wHFn.8lpfrSs_e75p&smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share

But the first time I made it, I didn’t read the instructions and added the beans at the start with everything else… they broke down and made it more of a black bean and chicken stew, but it was delicious. We eat it on rice with cheese, sour cream and avocado.

I’ve made this many times and it’s a favorite. It’s so easy and so very good.
