Slow Cooker Recipes


Oh man, do I have another fab recipe for you! My husband and I just finished eating this for dinner and are very happily stuffed. This recipe is AMAZING and perfect for these icy cold days! I know you guys will enjoy this as much as we did! Yay for crockpot recipes!!

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Chili

1/2 an onion, chopped
1-16oz can black beans
1-16oz can kidney beans
1-8oz can tomato sauce
2 small cans of corn
2-14.5oz cans diced tomatoes w/chilies
1 packet taco seasoning
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
240z. boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used two 12.5 oz cans of chunk chicken to save money)
1-4oz can of diced green chilies

Combine beans, onion, green chilies, corn, tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder and taco seasoning in a slow cooker. Place chicken on top and cover-or if you used chunk chicken like I did, add the chicken in with everything else halfway through cooking time. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 6 hours. Half hour before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in.

Yummy additions to add to your finished bowl of chicken taco chili...
-sour cream!
-cheddar cheese!
-a few squeezes of fresh lime!
-avacado slices!
-fresh cilantro!
-use tortilla chips as a spoon!
-and for those who like it hot ;) siracha!

These yummy toppings really make it absolutely perfect my darlings. Enjoy!!

Hi friends! I made this the other day in a pinch and let me tell you, not only was it easy peezy, it was out of this world DELISH! My husband and I both loved it! It will certainly become a staple in the Tiger family household. So, with that being said, if you're in a pinch and want something fast, cheap, delicious & could easily feed a family of 5? We ate on it for three days and never got tired of it believe it or not! You can't go wrong with this recipe. Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff


Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 5 hours on low setting
Ready In: 5 hours & 10 min

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (.7 ounce) package dry Italian-style salad dressing mix
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
3/4 cup of milk

Directions: Put the uncooked chicken breasts, dressing mix, both cans of soup and milk in slow cooker and cook for about 5 hours. After chicken is moist & tender (4, 4 and a half hours or so), remove from cooker and shred. After shredding chicken, put back in slow cooker and add cream cheese. Let cook for 45 more minutes so the flavor can blend.

Serve over whole wheat egg noodles or brown rice. We ate ours with brown rice, broccoli & corn. MMMMM mmmmm! I also used fat free soups and cream cheese and it was heavenly. You can even get creative and add fresh mushrooms, corn, any kind of vegetable really or sour cream when you add the cream cheese. The options are limitless. Make it your very own! I promise you'll love!
