I had never made something in the crock pot on high that turned out good. I have made several things that were not good. For example, attempting to cut down the cooking time on a roast in the crock pot is not only a waste of time, but money as well!. Here is one that our family liked.
Taco Lasagna
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
2/3 cup water
1 envelope taco seasoning (or Southwest Seasoning Mix from Pampered Chef!)
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Mexican diced tomatoes, undrained
6 flour tortillas (8 inches)
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
3 cups (12 ounces) shredded Mexican cheese blend
Directions:
In a large skillet, cook the beef, green pepper and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add water and taco seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Make an X or star with three long pieces of foil in crock pot (this helps you get it out when finished!) Make sure you have enough hanging out on the top. Place one tortilla in the bottom. Spread with half of the refried beans/black beans and beef mixture; sprinkle with 1 cup cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining tortillas and cheese. Cover and cook in crock pot on HIGH for 2-3 hours or until heated through and cheese is melted. Yield: 9 servings.

Have you looked at the 365 Crockpot blog, where the blogger uses her crockpot every day for a whole year? She posts reviews after ever recipe so it helps you know if things are flops. I haven't made anything off of her site that I didn't like. If you google crockpot and 365 you'll find it.
