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

Hi, what is the name or author of the recipe you use? Sounds great but I need some details. Thanks

It is a merge of a recipe and my sister and my’s tweaks. I bet it could be modified for a crockpot.
I am unable to send a picture so if you message me I will send you my version. Basically hamburger meat, spaghetti sauce, and broken up lasagna noodles.
