Enchilada Goobers CP

Brown up ground meat -I use ground turkey-
with onion
garlic -very little-
1T chili powder
1T cilantro
a bit of salt
When browned add tomato sauce
and one can of cream of tomato soup
If you have it whole corn
let it set and warm

In your CP put tortilla on the bottom -I do two layers-
refried beans
meat and sauce
cheese
repeat
When done layering add olives on the top
cook on low till dinner time



Notes:::
I put this in the crock pot while the kids are napping or eating lunch so between 12-1p. After you have it put together cover and cook on low.
This is what I made normally when we have left over black beans. Put them in a shallow bowl and smash them up.
I have also used chili mixed with the refried beans if we didn't quite have enough beans.
Also you can use either corn wheat or flour tortillas.
This can be made in the oven. follow the instructions and layer it in a cooking dish.

I know this sounds really odd but at least try it! It is super good.

Beans CP

I made red beans
I use the rib bones from the dinner the night before and tossed them in.
Along with about 1/2 onion
salt
pepper
what was left of the mesquite sauce
cook all day on high.
about 30mins before dinner I shredded the rib meat and added it.

SO FREAKING GOOD!

Mesquite Chicken

You can either cook the chicken in the oven -2 hours for frozen 1 hour for thawed-
Or cook it in the CP
all it is is Mesquite sauce and chicken
when done shred or cube
wrap in a tortilla with tater tots and cheese.
I know it sound odd but it is so so so so so good!

Ribs CP

I put ribs stacked in the crock pot
with either Mesquite or BBQ sauce.
Today I added a bit of soy sauce some minced garlic and about 1/4 of an onion.
I also added a bit of water as the ribs are not frozen -ICK-

Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

I cook chicken in the oven till it was almost done
took it out and chopped into small pieces
mixed together 1 pack of stuffing -1 1/2 warm water-
1 pack of frozen mixed veggies -defrosted-
and ricotta cheese about a 1/2 cup

I topped with a little more cheese.

I put it all together and baked for another 30mins.

**Ok so it turned out a little plain.... I added some salt that helped.
So next time use a little less cheese and season it before stirring it all together.

Pork Chops CP

The original recipe goes like this.
Put Pork chicks in the bottom of the crock pot
cover with 1 pk of Onion soup mix
and 1/2 of 1 small chopped onion.

What I did is add potatoes in the bottom.
And a bit of water.

As always I started with frozen meat in the morning so it was cooked on low for 8 hours.
It turned out good!
