Chicken Burrito Bowls

I disappeared for a bit. Winter lighting and taking photos of food don't mix well, and since I tend to cook dinner at dinner time instead of during good lighting it has made taking pics of food challenging. But I'll be better. I saw this on Instagram last week and thought it looked good. My boys and husband love a good bowl, and this was easy. I added it on the fly while grocery shopping last Friday, and they all agreed it needed to be made again soon. You cook the chicken in the crockpot all day and the rest of the ingredients are quickly pulled together.  Ingredients: 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 jar of Siete brand green enchilada sauce, 16oz 4 oz cream cheese 1 package taco seasoning (I used Siete brand) Rice, cooked (I cooked 4 c rice in rice cooker and then added salt, juice of 2 limes, and chopped cilantro) 2 cans of charro beans (Siete brand)**Side note - I had never heard of charro beans, so if you don't have them sub pinto beans or black beans, although t...

Crockpot Mac and Cheese

Image
Growing up, I never liked mac and cheese in the crockpot. I don't know why. My nephew made this recipe a few years ago, and I have made it ever since. I double it for Thanksgiving! It's easy but SO good.  Ingredients: 16 oz macaroni noodles, prepared according to directions 1 can cheddar cheese soup 16 oz sour cream 1 lb. shredded sharp cheddar 1 lb. shredded mild cheddar 1/2 c. butter salt, to taste pepper, to taste 1 tsp. ground mustard Directions: Spray your crockpot with cooking spray. Mix all ingredients minus noodles in crockpot. After cooking and draining noodles, stir in warm noodles to all other ingredients. Stirring them in while warm will help cheeses melt and everything combine. Stir well. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. Stir well a few times while cooking to incorporate all ingredients.
