Carson Crockpot






Here is a good-sounding recipe for Crockpot Nachos that Cheryl brought home from a Relief Society dinner last night. Also some dressing recipes.

Crockpot Nachos:

Ingredients
4-5 frozen chicken breasts
1 can drained black beans
1 can drained canned whole kernel corn
1 (15 oz) jar of salsa (recommended medium)
1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese

Cooking Directions
1.  Take 4-5 frozen, yes, frozen, boneless chicken breasts put into crock pot
2.  Add corn, black beans, and jar of salsa - dump it right on top of the chicken
3.  Cover and cook in crock pot on high for 4-5 hours or until chicken forks apart.
4.  Fork apart the chicken
5.  Add 1 package of cream cheese (just throw it on top) and let sit for about 1/2 hour.

You can put this in tortillas or over chips or rice.

Here is how we served it at relief society:  To be eaten as a salad or rolled up like a burrito
Tortilla, rice, chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, chips, salsa, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, tomatillo dressing or ranch dressing.
