I love set it and forget it dishes.  Here is one for the crock post-- Slow Cooked Corned Beef.  Prep time is about five minutes.

Here's what you need:

• 2.5-3.5 lb. corned beef brisket
• 1-2 dashes of pickling spices
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 carrot, sliced
• 1 celery stalk, sliced
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1-2 cups of water

Here's what to do:

• Season the meat with the salt and spices
• Put meat and other ingredients in crock pot and cover with water
• Cook on low for 8+ hours

Enjoy.
