No prep slow cooker ideas

Very short on time one day a week, thought I'd use my slow cooker. Any ideas for basically no prep meals?

So far I have
Chicken thighs plus frozen veg plus jar of sauce (Indian, Chinese, thai)

Any other ideas?! Thank you!

Chuck in a gammon joint (coke/pineapple/apple juice or whatever else if you want it) stick on low & walk away. Serve at tea time with chips and beans (we have gammon most Tuesday's) :)

Jacket potato's. Pierce, oil, wrap in tin foil and put them in. Just have to whizz up some beans and cheese.

Whole chicken, big bunch of fresh basil inside it, salt and pepper, tin of tomatoes on top, give it a wiggle and cook on low 7 hours. Nice with rice.

Schwartz/Colmans/Other brand packet mixes. Various casseroles, curries, stews erc. EASY!

I buy the prepared casserole veg pack from Tesco, plonk it in the slow cooker with boneless chicken thighs and a chicken casserole spice mix and water. Less than 30 seconds to prepare but tastes great, especially if you pop in some aunt Bessie's dumplings 30min before serving.

Irish stew. Diced lamb, carrots, onions, potatoes. Chop up veg, place in slow cooker with meat, add a chicken stock cube and boiling water. Cook for 8 hours, eat with buttered Irish soda bread.

Tesco 2 for 3 bags of chopped veg are good too, have bee potatoes in...
Always use 2 packet mixes and any meet, cover in liquid and six hours later. Yummy.

Meatballs + frozen chopped onions, frozen chopped peppers + garlic puree + jar tomato sauce + chicken stock cube + splosh red wine + dried herbs.

Cook on high for an hour ISH and then low for 8-12.
