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.

ScrumDiddlyUmptous Pulled Pork

To Die For, thanks Becky!!

Flat Apple Pie

My McKenna loved doing this. So easy and super yummy!
Adapted and tweeked from Pioneer Woman.





Flat Apple Pie
5 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Dash of cinnamon
Lid full of vanilla, I use mexican vanilla
You can make your own pie crust or cheat like I did and buy it, the box that has two crusts.
6 tablespoons butter

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In large bowl, stir together the apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, lemon juice and vanilla.

Lay your crust on baking sheet that is sprayed with pam. If you make your own crust then there is enough butter to keep it from sticking.

Place half the apple mixture on one crust and the other half on the other crust. Fold over the edges of each crust so that it covers 2 to 3 inches of the apple mixture. No need to be artistic - the more rustic the better. Dot the tops of the pies with chunks of the butter.

Bake until the filling is golden and bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes. If the crust appears to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminium foil for the remaining baking time.


Allow to cool slightly, then slice into wedges with a pizza cutter.
