Pulled Pork

We are so thankful for a friend that introduced this recipe to us!  We love BBQ and it so nice to make it ourselves!  This recipe is of course easy and can easily be frozen for a future meal.

Boston Butt--I usually get about 7 or 8 lbs

Put your pork in the crockpot, fat side on top to keep it more moist.  Then we drizzle some olive oil on top.  sometimes we sprinkle some seasonings on top, like taco seasonings.  Cook for 6-8 hours on low.  When it is done shred the pork with two forks.  Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce vinegar, tomato based or mustard based!

This makes plenty, so if you are having company it is good or leftovers or to freeze just put in freezer bags and label.  So easy!

Super Easy Italian Chicken

This is a good one for when you are low on time and very easy ingredients to keep on hand.

4 boneless, skinless frozen chicken breasts (I actually used not frozen and it was fine)
1 package of Italian dressing mix
1 cup of warm water or chicken broth

Put chicken in crock pot.  Sprinkle dressing mix over chicken.  Pour water or broth over chicken.  Cook on low 6-8 or high 4.

Serve over egg noodles or any noodles you like:)

Use the times for all recipes as a guide.  My crock pot gets really hot, so with this I was able to do 4 hours on low.

Enjoy!

Salsa Chicken

This is a super easy and yummy recipe that I got from the local multiples club moms.  My family absolutely loves it and the best part is that it couldn't be any easier!

3-4  Frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 jar of salsa
1 bag of frozen corn
1 can of black beans-optional-I don't add these, but you can

Put frozen chicken in the crockpot.  Add the rest of the ingredients.  Cook on Low 6-8 hours or High 3-4 hours.    
We like to eat ours in tortillas with cheese and sour cream and chips of course!  There is always plenty for leftovers the next night, so I like to serve with rice.

Enjoy!

Continental Chicken

Tonight we are having an old family favorite.  My mom got this recipe from a friend of hers and we use to have this a lot when I was growing up, except we just called it Chicken with Bacon wrapped around it!  Later in life I learned it had a real name:)  My husband and kids love, love, love this!!

Continental Chicken

3-4 Chicken breasts, boneless, skinless and halved.
6-8 slices of bacon (or a whole pack-that is how much we like!)
10 oz can cream mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup flour
1 jar dried beef

Line the bottom of your crock with dried beef ( I sometimes leave this out if I don't have it on hand).  Wrap your chicken breast halves with bacon.  I use two slices per chicken piece and if I have a couple left at the end I just throw it in with the chicken.  Place chicken on top of dried beef.  In a bowl mix soup, sour cream and flour.  Pour over top of chicken.  Cook on High 3-4 hours or Low 6-7 hours.  Serve over rice or egg noodles.

We love it with rice or noodles, but my favorite is rice.  I hope you love this as much as my family does!
