We got a slow-cooker for Hannukah, and have only tried to make one dish without any success. All the recipes I found on Epicurious had some of the lowest fork ratings I've seen for anything on the site. Can anyone share any good recipes or a good source of recipes?
Thanks.
I made this lamb shank recipe recently and thought it was quite good. I used orange zest instead of lemon and made a few other small changes.

We bought one a few years ago, and really only make steal-cut oats in it for breakfast. We start it the night before and then it's ready in the morning. The recipe's easy:
4 parts liquid (2 parts water and 2 parts milk)
1 part steal-cut oats
salt
Option:
3/4 part dried fruit (cherries, mango, cranberries, etc)
1/2 part liquid (to rehydrate the fruit)
set on the lowest setting for 7-8 hours

Also a one-dish slow-cooker novice, who would really like to expand my repertoire-about the only thing I cook in my slowcooker (other than soap, whch you can also make in a crockpot-I do use a separate one) is turkey stock, made by throwing in a smoked turkey carcass, cold water, various onions, celery, s & peppercorns.
I've cooked different bean soups in the crockpot, & braised beef, but I'd like to try something different...
