For beef chili, brown the ground beef in a skillet until fully cooked. Drain excess fat, then transfer to the crockpot. Add crushed tomatoes, drained kidney beans, chopped onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Place pork shoulder in the crockpot. Combine with BBQ sauce, sliced onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook on low for 6-8 hours until it shreds easily.

Layer half of the marinara sauce on the bottom of the crockpot. Add uncooked lasagna noodles followed by a mixture of ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, and mozzarella. Continue layering and finish with mozzarella. Cook on low for 4-6 hours.

Combine cubed sweet potatoes with brown sugar, melted butter, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well, then cook on low for 6 hours.

Place chicken thighs in the crockpot. Pour in chicken broth, uncooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, peas, carrots, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
