Ingredients
4-6 lb. pork butt
Hawaiian salt (kosher or sea salt works well too)
capful of liquid smoke
Directions
Rub salt on pork. Put in crockpot. Add liquid smoke - maybe a little water. Cook on low for 10 hours or high for 6-8.
Shred and enjoy.

Crockpot Potato Corn Chowder
I truly made this one up on my own, so I do not have exact amounts for some ingredients. It served 3 adults and 2 children with no leftovers. I would recommend not quite doubling the recipe for a full standard crockpot.
Ingredients
3 med potatoes cubed
1 can corn
1 can cream corn
1 can chicken broth
4 pieces turkey bacon
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
approx 1-2 cups milk
parsley
garlic powder
oregano
pepper
instant mashed potatoes
Directions
Cube the potatoes (I used the yellow ones and left the skin on) and put them into the crockpot.
Dump in cans of corn and chicken broth.
Cook turkey bacon until crispy - crumble and put into crockpot
Saute onions and celery for a few minutes in the bacon grease, and then add to the crockpot.
Add seasonings (parsley, garlic powder, oregano, pepper, etc)
Turn crockpot on high for 4-6 hours
Add milk about one hour before serving
Before serving, add enough instant potatoes to thicken the soup to desired consistency.

Crockpot of Black Beans
Beans are very nutritious and quite inexpensive, especially the dried ones. The other day, I made a crockpot FULL of black beans. They turned out quite well, especially when paired with rice, salsa, and cheese.
Ingredients
1 lb dry black beans
1 14oz can vegetable or chicken broth
1 can water
1 green pepper
1 onion
cumin (to taste)
chili powder (to taste)
garlic or garlic powder (to taste)
Directions
Boil dry beans in pot on stove top for 10 minutes. Put cover on and let sit for one hour.
Put beans in crockpot. Top with all other ingredients. Mix up. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 5-7.
Warning!! The one bag of beans make almost a complete crockpot full. Adjust quantities to suit your needs or plan on freezing some. We got 4 dinners for 4 out of one crockpot full!

Polenta Beef Stew
I found the original version of this recipe in Better Homes and Gardens Biggest Book of Soups and Stews. The BHG recipe called for a few other ingredients
(like 1/4 c. tomato paste), and did not include the potatoes or green beans, nor was it done in a slow cooker. Therefore, this is my rendition of the recipe, and it was a hit with my family.
Ingredients for Stew
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp garlic powder (or more)
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp basil
2 pounds beef for cut for stew
2 tbs olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 tsp rosemary
6 cloves of garlic, minced
1 14 ounce can beef broth
1 1/2 cups dry red wine (I used the cooking wine and would reduce the amount next time)
5 med. carrots cut into 1" pieces
4-6 red potatoes cut into 1 inch pieces
1 can cut green beans
Directions:
Combine flour, garlic powder, thyme, basil, a little salt, and a little black pepper in a ziploc bag. Add beef cubes a few at a time to coat. Heat oil in a skillet and brown the floured cubes. Set aside. Drain fat.
Saute onion, rosemary, and garlic for 3-4 minutes. Add beef broth and wine. Bring to boiling and reduce heat. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes or so,
Put ingredients into the crockpot in this order:
Carrots, potatoes, meat, broth mixture, and anything else (extra spices) that sounds good. Wait until 1 hour before serving to add green beans.
Cook on low 4-6 hours and high 7-10 (depends on crockpot), until potatoes and carrots are tender.
Serve over polenta.
Recipe for Polenta
In a large saucepan, bring 3 cups milk just to a simmer over medium heat. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup cornmeal (white or yellow), and 1 tsp salt. Stir cornmeal mixture into hot milk. Cook and stir until just boiling; reduce heat to low and let cook for 10-15 minutes or until mixture is very think, stirring occasionally (it only took 5 minutes for mine). Stir in 2 tbsp. butter until melted.
