I use one most of the time.
I had meatloaf last night.
I have made enchiladas, chili, upside-down pizza, stews, soups....
Just about anything you can make at home you can make on the road.
I have an air-popper for popcorn at home that we used before the days of micro-waved pop-corn, so on the next trip I'll bring that.

Ron-MARS is right, you can absolutely use a slow cooker on the road. They even make a 12V slow cooker. I believe there is a link to it from this site somewhere. Just make sure you are taking into account how much liquid you are putting into it and how rough of a road you may be rollin down.

Crock-pot/slow cooker bags are a must.
The less clean-up, the better.
I use plastic dinnerware and paper plates. I may not always be environmentally friendly, but I eat well, and don't have to do dishes.

You can do pork chops or chicken parts in the slow cooker too.
add a little liquid smoke and some rub or bbq sauce and you've got a 5 star meal.

Oh, add potatoes or carrots on the bottom to raise up the meat and let the juices run down on the veggies.

Tomorrow I'm having pulled pork.....

I have been neglecting this thread, in hopes that a lot of other folks might throw some ideas up. The few that we've had are good ones, but I'll throw some others up, starting with this one:

Chicken pot pie, slow cooker style. (this was inspired by the last question)

Ingredients:
1 can "veg all"
1 or 2 cans of pre-cooked chicken or 1 or 2 chicken thighs
2-3 slices of cheese
1 package of gravy mix ( I like brown)
1 small can of roll dough or biscuits (pillsbury type stuff)
Salt and pepper

In your slow cooker:
Open the cans of chicken and dump them, water and all into the bottom of the slow cooker. If you're using the whole thighs or breasts, place them on the bottom. Sprinkle 1/2 of the pack of gravy mix on top. Cover with the cheese slices. Add the can of veg all and one can of water. Cover the top with the biscuit dough. Put the lid on and set to low or medium. This will take about 4 hours on low. Everything is already cooked, but it will allow the liquid to mix with the gravy mix and flavor everything and for the dough to cook.

If you don't have access to biscuit dough (has to be kept refrigerated) then you can use bisquick plus water. Make it nice and thick and spread that over the top instead.

I have written to Guy Fieri at the Food Network about the Trucker's Dietary dilemma". As there are a couple a million of us, most who watch cable, He is interested in looking at the issue. Will keep it posted.

Awesome! good work Gregor, maybe they'll do a show. As a side note, here's a link to a great show on the Pentagon Channel. Maybe not entirely applicable, but it works with even slower speed connections and has some good ideas...It's called "Grill Sergeants"

right now I am using a portable oven one I picked up in a TS. plug into the lighter. I have pre cooked meals that I take from my freezer and put in my fridge before I head out. Then I pop the tray into the "oven" and presto my home cooked meal is hot. I have a very small toaster over that I use too. I don't have a lot of time to prepare something before heading down the road. But this wekend is a different story...LOTS of extra time to cook.
