What's your favorite crock pot recipe?

I got a little single-serving crock pot on Black Friday, so I'm curious what your favorite things to make in one are.

Single serving crock pot is (to me) otherwise known as the queso pot!
Get a bag of tortilla chips
Throw a block of velveeta in the pot and cover it with Ro-Tel
Turn it on and get all melty
Stir until combined
Open your bag of chips and put yourself into a cheese-coma.
- My buddy makes this for his Superbowl parties, it’s the main reason I go since I’m not into football
  
  I am embarrassed about how often I do this just because I can. My love of advanced cheese polymers with spicy/crunchy has surely packed the nooks and crannies of my gut with wads of micro-plastics but I just can't help myself around queso.
- With something called sodium citrate and a splash of milk, you can make quality cheese behave like Velveeta. Search "sodium citrate" cheese if your interested. Oh, and you can make sodium citrate from baking soda and limes so it's not like it's unhealthy or anything.
  I happen to loathe Velveeta because of Jimmy Carter so I was excited to get my nachos at home again.
  
  I think my dad's family got cheese. I assumed it was because they were native American. I don't remember ever trying it - i just saw a couple of big blocks that said CHEESE on a shelf.
  
  That would be Sharp American, and it tastes like my childhood...
  
  What did Jimmy Carter do to your cheese to make you loathe it?
  
  That non sequitur caught my attention, too...best guess is they're referring to the Carter Administration trying to stabilize the dairy industry with subsidies in 1977 which led to a massive backlog of cheap, processed cheese stuff that Reagan unloaded on welfare recipients throughout the '80s.
  
  Thank you!
  
  Velveeta is trash
  
  It is. His point is you can replicate the gooey texture with a cheese that's actually edible with almost zero effort, though.
  
  I fully understood their point which is why I replied to them and not the person recommending Velveeta.
  Sodium Citrate is frickin awesome.
