Help!!!

I am sick of the food I make. It is always the same old thing! I need new recipes that are easy, fast, and good. Any ideas? I love crock pot recipes...if you can't tell!

Pirate Stew

3/4 cup sliced onion
1 lb. ground beef
1/4 cup uncooked, long grain rice
3 cups diced raw potatoes
1 cup diced celery
2 cups canned kidney beans, drained
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. peper
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup water

1. Brown onions and ground beef in skillet. Drain.
2. Layer ingredient in slow cooker in order given above.
3. Cover. Cook on low 6 hours or until potatoes and rice are cooked.

Variation:
Add a layer of 2 cups sliced carrots between potatoes and celery.

*This is one of my favorite stews!!!

Chicken Noodle Soup

5 cups of water
2 tbsp. chicken bouillon granules, or 2 chicken bouillon cubes
46 oz can chicken broth
2 cups cooked chicken
1 tsp. salt
4 cups "homestyle" noodles, uncooked
1/3 cup thinly sliced celery, lightly pre-cooked in microwave
1/3 cup shredded or chopped carrots

1. Dissolve bouillon in water. pour into slow cooker.
2. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well.
3. Cover. Cook on low 4-6 hours.

I split this recipe in half because it's a lot for just Nate and I. I would added 2 bouillon cubes even if you split the recipe in half. Also, I didn't use "homestyle" noodles, I just used regular noodles and they were really soggy. If you use regular noodle I would put them in a few hours before it is done.
