Salsa Chicken Via The Crockpot!

Crock Pot Salsa Chicken
 
4 boneless chicken chicken breasts, I put them in frozen but you can thaw them or use fresh
 1 jar (16 oz) of your favorite salsa
Water
Salt & Pepper
Place your chicken in the crock pot, season with salt and pepper.
Add one cup or so of water, enough so the chicken doesn't stick to the crockpot and so it doesn't dry out.
Dump the entire jar of salsa on top of the chicken.

Let it cook on low for 6 hours or so.

Shred the chicken and eat it as chicken enchiladas, chicken tacos (hard or soft), with rice, on a salad, the options are endless!

Cowboy Casserole



COWBOY CASSEROLE
1lb lean ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
Seasonings for beef I use, you can use whatever you like: seasoned salt, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin and chili powder
 1 can pinto beans, or ranch style beans
1/2 cup barbecue sauce, I used honey
1 ½ cups of frozen tater tots cut in half or fresh potatoes, diced, whatever you have on hand
2 cups Bisquick
2/3 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter, softened
 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
 Heat oven to 425°F.
In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat with seasonings, when almost brown add onion and potatoes stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked.
 Stir beans and barbecue sauce into beef. Pour into greased 8x8 casserole.
 Meanwhile, in medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk and butter until soft dough forms. Sprinkle a little cracked black pepper, salt and garlic powder for flavor (I use pampered chef crushed peppercorn and garlic rub, this part is optional, plan biscuits are fine)
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over entire casserole
 Drop dough by 12 spoonful’s onto beef mixture.
 Bake uncovered 18 to 22 minutes or until topping is golden brown.
