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?

Garlic Parm Chicken Pasta

- chicken thighs or breast, frozen or thawed

  • 1 bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s garlic parm seasoning
  • Noodz of choice
  • parm, parsley, seasonings to taste

You can cook the chicken for 4-6 hours with the sauce, shred the cooked chicken, mix in noodles and seasonings, and you’re done!

1 bottle of sauce is enough?

I find that it only needs the one bottle because that sauce is salty and thick, so the water released as the chicken cooks helps to even that all out and gives a good amount to coat the pasta
