A new favorite ~ Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Stew

As you know, winter is coming! And I thought I'd share a new favorite ONE POT meal... gotta love those! ; )

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Stew

Mix together in your crock pot:

1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can corn (drained) or frozen works too... just eyeball it.
2 cans diced tomatoes with chilies (or plain works if you are a wimp)
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1 small onion chopped
1 packet taco seasoning

Add two chicken breasts (I smoosh them down into the stew until they are covered)

Cook on High about 4 to 5 hours (an hour longer if chicken is frozen)
or Cook on Low around 8 hours

About 30 minutes before you are ready to serve, remove chicken, shred it and put it back in.

Serves 10 moderate portions, 14 conservative portions.

Serve with tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream!

Mmmm... my tummy is growling.

Just in case you forgot what we looked like...


So, I know it's been a really long time since I've blogged. I have no excuse. Really, I've just been lazy. I don't have anything exciting to share... so I just thought I'd post this lovely picture of us at Sunriver. Aren't we cute? We had a great time again this year. We did lots of walking, a little biking, and tons of swimming at the heated indoor pool. It as actually very warm during the days... but the nights sure cooled off over there! We ate a lot, we played a lot, and we laughed a lot too. Thanks family, for such a fun week!


Here's our newest Sunriver Photo:

I'm already looking forward to next year!
