Re: Low prep, low cost crockpot recipes!
Yum -these all sound good.
One question about the gringa chicken burritos- do you use canned black beans? I have a can at home & would like to try this. |

Re: Low prep, low cost crockpot recipes!
Another good one for getting rid of cans of beans ... a few more ingredients, but still pretty cheap.
Taco Soup 1 lb ground beef, browned and drained 1 can black beans, undrained 1 can pinto beans, undrained (original recipe calls for kidney, but I think it should be pinto) 1 can corn, drained 1 large (28 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained (recipe calls for crushed, but whatever) 1 medium can sliced olives, drained (optional) about half a small can chopped green chiles (optional) 1 packet taco seasoning mix 1 packet ranch dressing mix (I've never used it) 1 small onion, chopped (I use dehydrated, works fine) Throw the whole lot into a large crock pot. Cook on low 4-6 hours. Great with shredded cheese and sour cream on top, served with Jiffy corn muffins. Yum.

Re: Low prep, low cost crockpot recipes!
I also do a whole chicken with a bottle of BBQ sauce
1 can of mushroom soup and a cup of sour cream over chicken breasts. Left over sauce is excellent on rice

Re: Low prep, low cost crockpot recipes!
Do you thaw the frozen chicken breasts before putting them in the crockpot? I hope that's not a stupid question.

Re: Low prep, low cost crockpot recipes!
Sometimes I thaw, sometimes I don't. My slowcooker cooks faster than what most recipies say. So, if I want to start it at 9am, I'd use frozen. At noon I'd use thawed. I often thaw in my microwave.
