One recipe that comes to mind is this one. You can't get much simpler than this:
Beef shanks in the slow cooker
Ingredients
four large meaty beef shanks
half cup all purpose flour
one teaspoon black pepper
salt to taste
a can of tomato soup
half can of water
2 teaspoons of died basil
quarter cup vegetable oil
Dredge beef shanks in flour and pepper and lightly brown on both sides in vegetable oil. Place shanks in slow cooker
Mix soup, water, and basil and pour over shanks. Set slow cooker to low and in 8 hours most of your dinner is done.*
*You could put a layer of tiny new potatoes and coarsely chopped carrots and onions on the bottom of your cooker and put everything else on top and cook as before.
