Tuesday's Lists: Favorite Crock Pot Recipes

I wanted to make sure I got my Tuesday's List in for this week, so I am doing mine a day early. I can't wait to see what everyone else puts on their list of Favorite Crock Pot Recipes. I only have a few, but I want to bump up my list because the hubby, Gregg, is always begging for a Crock Pot meal. And well, I am just new to the whole cooking in one pot for 6 hours or more...And plus, I always forget about setting it in the morning. I think if I get a few more recipes under my belt, I will be become more likely to turn that baby on!

[1] Easy Salsa Chicken Recipe

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast

2 jars medium or spicy salsa

1 can of black beans

1 can of whole kernal corn

Pour the salsa, black beans, and corn into the crock pot and stir to mix.

Add the chicken breads to the mix and pour some the liquid on top.

Cook on low 8 to 10 hours.

Serve over rice or eat with tortilla chips.

[2] Mushroom Chicken Pasta Recipe

See, those are super easy, but I do not have that many. Sorry, I also have no pictures to post because, like I said before, I don't use the Crock Pot too often, but have always wanted to. Can't wait to see what everyone else posts!
