The layered crockpot with beef was a hit.

Layered Crockpot Dinner

1 lb lean ground beef
2 tablespoons imitation bacon bits
1 small onion, chopped
15 oz can tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2/3 cup brown rice
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

Crumble ground beef evenly over bottom of a slow cooker. Sprinkle with bacon
bits, then onion. In a medium bowl, combine tomato sauce, water, chili powder,
salt, and black pepper; pour half over beef and onion layers. Sprinkle rice
evenly over top, then top with remaining tomato sauce mixture, then bell
pepper. Cover and cook on LOW about 5 hours or until rice is tender.

Next time I would add some more rice to stretch it a bit.
