There's a whole slew of crockpot recipes out there, and since you have a grill, BBQ!!! Burgers, hot dogs, steaks, chicken, veggies, etc!

Chicken breasts in a crockpot, covered with half a can of salsa. When done, just use a fork to shred. It's perfect for tacos, burritos, etc. Just serve with rice and beans.

I have a super easy Asian soy-sauce chicken crockpot dish if you're interested. Let me know and I'll post the recipe.

Soy sauce chicken recipe (you can do this stovetop or crockpot)

Ingredients -
chicken thighs or drumsticks (I usually cook 8-10 thighs)
2 russet potatoes
4-5 carrots
1 medium white onion
8 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp sugar
1-2 tbsp sesame oil
2/3 cup of soy sauce

*optional - you can add sesame seeds or hot chili flakes

Directions -

PREP-
grate the carrots and potatoes
chop potatoes into cubes
slice the carrots
chop the onion (large pieces are okay, don't mince or dice the onion)
if you use chicken thighs, cut the extra fat off of them
mince the garlic

COOK -
throw everything into a pot - i usually put the chicken in first, then everything else
add soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar (and *hot chili flakes* if you want it spicier)
heat on HIGH for about 4 hours in a crockpot

DONE! serve with rice.

It's actually not that salty!

@regberadaisy: I've never actually done it (we don't have a microwave) but I've heard its easy to make scrambled and over-hard eggs like in breakfast sandwiches.

@regberadaisy: @yoursilverlining: I make eggs in the microwave all the time, haha. I just crack it in a small bowl, mix it up with a little bit of milk, salt, pepper, and then put it in a shallow dish. Microwave ~30 second intervals until it is cooked through. Comes out sorta like a thin omelette. Good for a quick breakfast!

we love kalbi jjim (korean short ribs) in the crockpot! here's the recipe from kimchi mamas:
Kalbi Jjim

2 1/2 lb. lean short ribs (Buy regular short ribs, not the kind that are thinly sliced for grilling.)

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup sugar

3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

2 onions, peeled and sliced into lengths

a handful of baby carrots

1 T. toasted sesame seeds

10 fresh mushrooms

1/2 cup of chestnuts (Peeling them is kind of a pain, so I recommend getting the already-peeled kind.)

Cut between ribs to separate them and remove visible fat. Put the ribs, garlic, and water in the crockpot, and cook for four hours on low. Add remaining ingredients, and cook for four more hours, or until ribs are fork-tender. Skim fat off the top before serving.
