Good old split pea soup is one of our favorites, even all my kids. Honestly, you can follow the directions on the bag and throw it in the slow cooker. As long as you have a ham bone in there, it's almost foolproof and it smells so very good when it's cold outside.
I don't know how everyone else cook split pea soup.
I just wash the split pea, throw them into the slow cooker with 2 cup of ham cubes and stock from ham bones.
When Jewel had a ham deal during holidays (Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas), I got a few hams. I sliced the ham and cut into small cubes, freeze them. I used the ham cubes for soups and Asian fried rice. The bones are throw into a stock pot and simmer for a couple of hours to make stock.
I usually throw in an onion or two, garlic and some carrots. Celery if I have it on hand. Sometimes water, sometimes chicken stock. Believe it or not, some nutmeg tastes nice, too.

I make split pea soup like this, except without the ham to flavor it (I don't eat pork). Tastes great to me. I serve it with a salad and homemade bread.
1 lb of ground beef
3/4 cup of ketchup
1/4 onion
1/4 cup of green pepper
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of mustard
3 tablespoons of brown sugar
Very easy. Brown meat then add all ingredients and let simmer for about 20 minutes. VERY GOOD!!!
I make "Panera's" Broc Cheddar Soup. I got the recipe on Food Network.com
So easy and tastes yummy. My family likes my version better than the resturant. Maybe because I puree it and it very creamy.

I'm glad you enjoyed it....I always have seconds cause it is so yummy!!
I made the most amazing and oh-so-simple chicken last night. It came from:
http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/ (the blog has been mentioned here before.)
I made the Herb Garden Chicken (simplified) and just stuffed some fresh rosemary sprigs and parsley into the chickens' (I made 2) patootie and rubbed it all over w/parmesean cheese. It smelled amazing and I couldn't wait to have cold leftovers today for lunch. The carcasses should make for some yummy soup, too!
LOVE my crock pot when the weather turns chilly.

We had it by itself but I had some of the leftover over a baked potato. Think it would be yummy over noodles.
I also threw in some mixed veggies and it was kinda like a potpie.

My mom used to make this but with hamburger...We were the only ones in the family who liked it. Over toast with pepper...yummmmm
Love **** on a Shingle...we call it chipped beef...lol...this is my recipe
8oz beef cut up (use the Buddings beef packets and cut into small squares)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
4 cups milk
salt and pepper to taste
Melt butter. Add beef and cook till ends curl. Add flour and cook a few minutes till flour is all absorbed and flour is a little cooked. Add pepper, mix in milk and bring to a boil. Simmer till desired consistancy. Serve over toast.
I dont get to make it often cause DH does not like it...but it is craved by my whole family!!!
Yup!
Use pork sausage instead or ground beef, ground turkey, pepperoni...whatever.
Also great over egg noodles & bisquits.
