Happy Monday! We had a great weekend. Friday Shane kept the kids and I went scrapbooking! It was a lot of fun. :) I didn't get much done but I'm going again with my girls in Michigan in a few weeks so I'll be ready then.
On Saturday Graham and I went to a craft bazaar in town and then we all went to see SANTA! Grace was excited to go but then a little unsure. She warmed up after a bit. I'll try to copy the picture they gave us and then post it. Cute cute.
Saturday night I made one of Shane's favorite meals. Ham and Beans. Some people call them soup beans. He grew up on this with corn bread. I cooked it in the crock all day. It's not a favorite of mine but I like it ok. Side note: I would have NEVER eaten this as a child- my taste buds have grown! Grace ate the ham pieces from it but I'm pretty sure she didn't touch the beans. But it's very affordable and goes a long way. And it's filling too.
So I'm loving my crock pot. I need some more easy recipes like this. I love soup in the winter but Shane's not a soup fan. Anyone have any other easy crock pot recipes- dump and go?

ReplyDeleteI have an easy one that is similar to the rice and chicken recipe that Campbell's puts on their cans of cream of chicken, except it's done in the crock pot.
ReplyDeleteI don't know it's official name, but we call it Mexican Chicken :)
You put a can of crm of chicken, a can of nacho cheese soup, a jar of salsa (w/your heat preference, of course) and 3-4 chicken breasts (frozen) into the crock. Add some S/P. Then fill with water to about an inch from the top! Cook all day and you have yummy spicy chicken w/some tasty "goop" to put on top.
It's great served w/rice!
thanks angie!
ReplyDeleteAngie, I just stuck that in the crock. thanks!
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think. I hope you like it!
ReplyDelete3-4 chicken breasts
ReplyDelete1 can black beans
16 oz corn (canned or frozen)
32 oz salsa
Cook on low for 6-8 hours. About an hour before serving, remove the chicken and shred it (though I usually just grab tongs and a knife and shred it right in the crockpot). Serve on tortillas or over rice. Super good, super easy :)
