1 - 1 1/2 lb. chicken breast
salt/pepper
1 can corn
1 pkg. taco seasoning
2 cans diced tomato

Put all ingredients into crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Pull out chicken and shred and then return to crockpot. Serve with crushed chips, cheese and sour cream.

Crockpot Pasta Meatball Soup

This one was adapted from a Taste of Home recipe.

Crockpot Pasta Meatball Soup

Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked pasta (I used 1 1/2 cups whole wheat penne)
32 frozen Italian meatballs
2 cans (14 1/2 oz each) chicken broth
1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 1/2 cups frozen sliced carrots (could use corn in place of this)
1 can (16 oz.) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 jar (14 oz) meatless spaghetti sauce
1 cup frozen peas (I used canned)

Cook pasta according to package directions, drain. Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients in the crockpot. Add pasta to crockpot and cook on low 6-8 hours.

We served this with garlic bread and fruit cocktail

Our Review: This soup was very easy and good! Definately will be made again.

Chili

This is a tried and true favorite that I've created using mom's recipe and adding some of my own things.

Chili

Ingredients:

1 lbs. ground beef
2 can chili beans (I use Brook's mild)
1 can pinto beans, drained/rinsed
1 pkg Williams chili seasoning (the one for 2lbs. meat)
1 can diced tomatoes
tomato juice

Brown and drain ground beef. Add all ingredients except tomato juice to a big pot and mix together. Add enough tomato juice to your desired consistancy. Heat and eat. This is best if you make ahead and let sit before heating.

We served this with raw carrots & celery, crackers, mandarin oranges & cinnamon rolls

Crock Pot Taco Soup

I found this recipe on another website, can't remember which one but I want to give them a BIG thank you! This recipe is not only for the crock pot (so super easy) but also gluten free which is a plus for those that have to watch for that (like one of Brooke's friend's).

CROCK POT TACO SOUP


Ingredients:
2 cans kidney beans
2 cans pinto beans
2 cans corn
3 cans diced tomatoes
1 packet taco seasoning
1 packet ranch dressing mix
1 lb. ground hamburger (or turkey)
shredded cheese
tortilla chips


Brown meat and drain.
Put meat into crock pot and sprinkle seasoning packets (taco & ranch) on top of meat.
Drain and rinse the beans and add to crock pot.
Add corn and tomatoes (with all juice)


Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. You can also do high for 4-5 hours but low is best.


Serve topped with shredded cheese and crunched up tortilla chips.



Our Review - This was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! Mike said it was kind of a mix of tacos, chili and stew (he didn't even mind the tomatoes b/c he couldn't taste them). I thought this was a great alternative to chili b/c it wasn't spicy (although you could put in a can of rotel in place of one of the diced tomatoes for a little more bite). Brooke said the hamburger and corn tasted really good, she couldn't taste the beans (good) but she didn't care for the tomatoes. Lexy actually tasted a bite of this and said it tasted good!!! This will be going into the recipe box and used very often!
