One of the most wickedly awesome and easy dinners I make in the crockpot is ribs. Throw some country style pork ribs in there, add your favorite BBQ sauce (I make my own because I like it spicy) and then cook on low all day long (10-12 hours). Serve with cole slaw or potato salad...yummy.
LT, I don't usually measure very accurately when I make this, but I think this is roughly what I do:
Sauté a minced onion and 2-3 cloves of minced garlic in a TBS or so of vegetable oil. Season with at least 2 TBS of chili powder and salt and pepper to taste. Add a cup of ketchup, a small can (8 oz) of tomato sauce, ¼ cup molasses, 2 TBS of cider vinegar, 2 TBS Worcestershire sauce, 2 TBS Dijon mustard and some dried red pepper flakes to taste (I add about a teaspoon). If this is too thick, add some water. Cook on low heat and stir often until flavors are blended (about 20 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste. I use a smoked salt that I buy here - not sure if you can buy it in the US.
If you want to get up that early in the morning, you can sure grill them for a few minutes. Grilling them after cooking won't work because they are falling apart...I sometimes brown them before I put them in the crock pot, but I'm not sure that makes much difference.
I've got a recipe on my website for a great roast beef with gravy in the crockpot:

I trying this "7 hour lamb roast" in the slow cooker this weekend. I've done a version in the oven that was great & am pretty sure this one is a winner
Here goes:
* leg of lamb
* 6 onions quartered
* 6 carrots quartered
* 1 head garlic peeled and chopped
* 6 bay leaves
* 2 teaspoon thyme
* Salt & Pepper
* 2 bottle of white wine
* 2.5kg potatoes peeled and chopped
* 2 tins crushed tomatoes (440g tins)
Place all ingredients except potatoes and tins of tomatoes in and slow cooker for 5 hours. Then add tomatoes, potatoes and top up liquid if required and cook for 1 hour.
