Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

This is more like a chili than a soup, but it’s really good and low fat, not to mention cheap! Freezes well also.

1 onion, chopped
1 (16oz) can chili beans, Ranch style beans, or pinto beans
1 (15oz) can black beans
1 (15oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (8oz) can tomato sauce
1 can chicken broth
1 (28oz) can diced tomatoes (could use 1 or 2 cans Rotel if you wanted)
1 pkg taco seasoning
3 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Place all ingredients in crockpot, place chicken breasts on top and press down into the mixture. Allow to cook on low for 7 hours.

Before serving, remove chicken and shred/dice, add back to the crockpot.

Serving options:
rice
shredded cheese
sour cream
crushed tortilla chips

I like this best served over rice with cheese on top, but hubby prefers chips and cheese.  This is soooo good and easy to make!

Crockpot Saucy Scalloped Potatoes

Crockpot Saucy Scalloped Potatoes

4 cups thin sliced potatoes
1 can cream of mushroom soup
12oz can Pet milk (evaporated milk)
lg onion, sliced (I use onion powder since kiddo doesn’t like onions 😛 )
2 TBSP butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Spray crockpot with non-stick spray. Combine potatoes with other ingredients and mix well – pour into crockpot. For thicker sauce, sprinkle 2 TBSP flour in between potato layers. Cook on high for one hour, then reduce to low for 4 to 5 hours until potatoes are tender.

For a one dish meal, add 1 1/2 cups chopped ham to the mixture. I also top with shredded cheddar cheese a few minutes before serving. WONDERFUL and very easy!!
