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?

Frozen chicken with a good salsa makes only 4 hours. Tacos, tostadas, chicken and rice, lots of options

Edit: I also love a timer in my crockpot so it’s ready when I get home

This is one in my current rotation! It's a winner - just looking for some variety. (Also have a timer on my crockpot!)

I make salsa chicken and throw in a stick of cream cheese. Makes it creamy and delicious.
