Here's an unusual crock pot recipe a friend gave me:

Crock Pot Enchiladas

Brown 2 lbs beef with green chilies (small can - chopped, or a couple of chopped Anaheim chilies) and chopped onion

1 pkg round corn tortillas - Take each tortilla and smother it in Cream of Mushroom soup and layer the bottom of crock pot

Then layer of meat mixture

Then layer of shredded cheese (I use Monterrey Jack and Cheddar - 10 ozs.)

Continue layers finishing with a tortilla

Pour 1 small jar thick and chunky salsa on top

Cook on high 1 hour (or low 3 hours) - (Do not stir!)

Hey I'm so proud of myself too- today I made some GREAT beans, and I made up the recipe!
Here's what I did:

/////Black beans with eggplant & cilantro/////
Chop one whole onion, 1/2 a red pepper, and some garlic and brown well in a skillet with some olive oil. Put into a 4-6 qt crockpot.
Peel and cut a smallish eggplant into chunks and brown that well in a little olive oil in the skillet too. Put in crockpot.
Add to the crockpot:
3 cans black bleans, drained
1 can crushed tomatoes
2 T molasses
5 T brown sugar
2 T balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
salt/pepper seasoning to taste

Cover and cook on low in slow cooker for about 5 hours. Make some rice to serve on the side. During last minutes of cooking, rinse a big bunch of fresh cilantro, then cut up leafy part with a scissors and stir into beans. Let beans cook 15 more minutes, then serve over or next to rice.

It was really GOOD! I especially liked the eggplant in it.
