Here is a crock pot Jambalaya that is always a crowd favorite

1 pound pheasant or chicken cut into pieces or not
1 pound andouille sausage sliced
1 onion chopped
3 celery stalks chopped
1 bell pepper chopped
2 cloves garlic
can diced tomatoes undrained
1 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Put it all in a crock pot for 8 hours on low. In the last 1/2 hour of cooking add a cup of minute rice, and a pound of shrimp.
 
Crock pot meals prepared ahead of time then depending on timing ,frozen are an excellent way to have a hot meal when you get back, without the hassle of late evening preparations. Hot dishes , scalloped potatoes and ham, bbqs and soups would be a fine start.
 
Pickapepper Sauce. Been hard to come by in my neck of the woods since a hurricane hit their plant in Jamaica last year. I found some at County Fair and should have bought them out.

We also pour a bottle over a brick of cream cheese and eat it with wheat thins for an appetizer while waiting for the main meal to get ready.

Use to cook alot in motel room. Some because of being young and finances for are group and some because of needing good home cooked meals to fuel us and our cattail walks. Crock pots and electric skillets were my tools. That was many years ago. Finances are better now but still use a grill for burgers and steaks once in awhile still. Occasionally, even a Crock pot beef roast for the memories. All is good, eating out or cooking at the motel. End results is what matters, still hunting cock birds after 30 years. Semper FI 👍

One of my favorite crock pot meals is pork and sauerkraut. I made it last week with a tenderloin I had in the freezer. I prefer it over mashed potatoes but sometimes I'll throw potatoes in with it and make it a one pot meal.

Haven’t heard anyone speak of this in years, my mom use to make this with dumplings on it. dry bisquick I believe, I loved it
 
You cut up some roast or some kind of beef in your chunks, then throw some celery, onions, peppers, tomatoes, whatever you want to throw in there, and some cream of mushroom soup and some chicken broth cook it on low for 6 hours or so and when you come back from hunting, have some bread and butter with it salt and pepper turns out good.
