Taco Soup

My husband LOVES taco soup.  This is always a winner in our house.  I usually use the stove option because when he asks for it its never in the morning to allow crockpot time. 

• 1 pound ground beef or ground hamburger
• 1/2 cup diced onions
• 1 (15 1/2-ounce) can kidney, undrained
• 1 (15 1/2-ounce) can black beans, drained
• 1 (15 1/4-ounce) can whole kernel corn, 1/2 drained
• 1 (14 1/2-ounce) Rotel, undrained
• 1 (1 1/4-ounce) package taco seasoning mix
• 1 (1-ounce) package ranch salad dressing mix (the dry stuff)

• Optional toppings for serving:  Corn Chips, Tortilla Chips, Sour Cream, Grated Cheese, Chopped Green Onions, Pickled Jalapeno  (my husband really enjoyed Monterrey Jack cheese on top of his)

Brown the ground beef and onions in a large skillet; transfer the browned beef and onions to a large slow cooker or a stockpot. Put the ingredients in a slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours.

Stove Option: Medium High in a pot for 30-45 min, Stir occasionally.

Crock pot Pineapple Chicken 

3-4 Chicken Breasts (about 2 lbs) 

 1 can of pineapple in juice (bits, chucks, rings, its up to you) 

1 medium onion 

2 tbsp soy sauce ½ cup chicken broth.

Put it all in the crock pot, chicken first, then onion then pineapple, soy sauce and chicken broth.  Cover and cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours or on LOW for 6-8 hours.  Serve whole, shredded or cut up, over white rice.  Although my husband likes it over fried rice.

Crock Pot Cream Cheese Chicken Chili

My husband requests this a couple times a month.  I sent him to work with some for his co-worker to try (coworker asked for it, lol) and he loved it as well.. he demanded I give him the recipe.  So I did.    Its a tiny bit on the spicy side so if you don't like that sort of thing just reduce the chili powder a little.

_______________________________________________
Crock-Pot Cream Cheese Chicken Chili

2 chicken breasts, still frozen
1 can Rotel tomatoes
1 can corn kernels, do not drain
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 pkg. Ranch dressing mix (powdered stuff)
1 T cumin
1 t chili powder
1 t onion powder
1 - 8-oz pkg. cream cheese
_________
Put the chicken in the crock pot.
Top with the tomatoes, corn,
the drained and rinsed beans,
ranch dressing, cumin, onion and chili powders,
stir to combine then top with the cream cheese.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours, stirring one or twice
 to blend in the cheese.
Shred the chicken into large pieces
and serve over rice or as a dip with tortilla scoops.

Adobo Chicken

Adobo Chicken

My mom used to make us adobo chicken when I was a kid.  I loved it.  I found out later, it is such a simple recipe.  

It can either be done on the stove or in the crock pot.  On the bone or off the bone..either way, a delicious Filipino dish.  In this picture its left on the bone... even though i usually take the bones out once the meat starts falling off.  
 ____________________

Ingredients

2lbs of chicken thighs  (Bone or Boneless)
1/4cup white vinegar
1/2 cup LOW SODIUM soy sauce
1 cup water
    4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp. black peppercorns
2-3 whole bay leaves

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Bring to boil, then lower heat, cover and simmer until meat is falling off the bone or easily pulled apart apart with a fork. Serve over steamed rice.   YUM.


For the Crock-Pot  option - put in all ingredients and turn on low before work ... 8 hours later you got yourself a dish.  Remove the bones and serve chicken and juice over rice.
