I'm looking for some really easy recipes for my crockpot, as a way of surviving next winter. I work as a ski instructor, and it seemed to me that the crockpot would be a perfect solution: set the crockpot, go to work, come home, eat. Unfortunately, all of my crockpot recipes require enough prep work that they aren't practical when you have to get out the door by 6:30 a.m. I really need something where I can just dump some stuff in the crockpot, turn it on, and leave (or, alternatively, where I can assemble stuff beforehand, refrigerate it overnight, and just turn it on in the morning). It's also got to be recipes that can go for a long time -- I don't get home until 5 or later!
Is that a too-tall order?

I can't find the recipe I'm thinking of, but this one is close:
crockpot chicken
Later on I just add water and some veggies, turn it on yet again, and voila, no effort chicken soup for the next night. Strain out the bones and skin bits obviously... I think that was the best chicken soup I'd ever made.

Great stuff, Len, thanks for the recipe. I'll be trying it soon.
I also found a few more recipes that will do what I'm looking for, by selecting the crockpot/slow cooker recipe and then selecting the "three steps or less" category. It's not a perfect match, but there are a few in there.

This one definitely fits your requirements. Just dump it in in the morning and go. It can cook on low all day. Super easy!!
We tried it last night for dinner and it is very good.

I'm a big fan of crock pot cooking, so...
Rebollita
Very hearty after a day on the slopes.
and
Ham & Cauliflower Chowder
Delicious~ both would
hold until you're ready to eat. If you have a nice crusty bread to dip, all the better. Bon appetit!

If you prepped this the night before you could simply throw it in before you leave.
Crock Pot Hungarian Goulash
This is mostly opening cans and dumping and tasted quite good
Crockpot Hawaiian Chicken
And not gourmet fare but incredibly easy:
