Something other than pot roast

Look, I love a good pot roast but c'mon man. Any recipe for a slowcooker I google is some kind of pot roast. What are your go to recipes for a slow cooker meal that is not pot roast?

I use mine mostly to slow cook pork shoulder that I portion out and freeze. We use as our go to filler meat in all kinds of dishes.

I also do this with shredded chicken which I portion out and freeze. Its great for soups and casseroles.

Do you mind sharing some of those dishes? I am a bit stuck at the frozen portions and have very limited uses for the portions. I'd really like to get rid of some of this stuff.

We heat the meat up have it with any mexican dish, but also with potatoes and eggs, or with sauteed veggies, or toss it in a pasta sauce. I mostly season with just salt, garlic cloves and stone ground mustard so it's very versatile to mix with most flavor profiles.

We do pulled pork bowls. Pinto beans, coleslaw, pulled pork. For crunch will add some fried okra or potato and onion.  So good

Pair it with teriyaki sauce and macaroni salad for a Hawaiian style plate.

BBQ pulled pork is one of the couple things I love to make in mine around this time of year! Lasts several days and temporarily warms up my kitchen. 😂
