When you're ready to begin, unload everything, cook the ground beef (all of it) and the Italian sausage (ground not the links) in separate pans. Wash and chop veggies, rinse the beans, open all the cans. This is a can heavy crock potting round so you might as well get that out of the way so it doesn't mess up your flow.
Then start dumping...
Potato Soup:
1/2 bag frozen hash browns
2 cans or 1 carton broth
1 can cream of chicken
Handful of chopped onion
1/3 tsp black pepper

1 can cream of chicken
handful of chopped onion
1/2 bag shredded cheddar
4 chicken breasts
(make 2 of these)
Update: I received compliments on this one, even though it wasn't one of our favorite. The rice can stick to the sides or bottom so make sure to mix the wet ingredients well.
Sweet Hawaiian Chicken
4 chicken breasts
1 can diced pineapple plus juice
1/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c teriyaki sauce
(I'll probably serve this with rice)
Update: Don't overcook this one, the chicken will dry out or become too salty.
Italian Peppers and Sausage:
1 package Italian Sausage
3 sliced green peppers
1 sliced red pepper
(make 2 of these, serve with noodles and/or garlic bread)
Update: Yum.

2 cups water
1 packet au jus seasoning
(serve on rolls or hoagies)
Update: Yum.

(Serve on a corn bread waffle. It'll knock your socks off. Make 2 of these)
Update: Yum.

1 bottle honey mustard

Update: Yum.
Shepherds Pie:
Mix 1-2 lbs ground beef with 1 bottle BBQ sauce
Put on bottom of tray, cover with half of the frozen mixed vegetables bag
Make 2 packets of mashed potatoes and layer on top of the vegetables (you can use real mashed potatoes but this is an easier option)
You can also sprinkle cheese on top (optional)
(make 2 of these)
Update: Yum.
All crock pot meals cook on low for 6-8 hours, or 3-4 hours on high. When cooking meat (especially roasts) they ALWAYS taste better when cooked on low.
