Slow Cooker Black Bean and Corn Salsa Chicken {Freezer Meal}

Recipe from Six Sisters' Stuff

 This was a great meal.  The flavors were fantastic.  This makes a great freezer meal.  It is so yummy and incredibly easy to throw together. It is also so versatile! You can serve it over rice, in tortillas, with chips, or eat it like chili.


INGREDIENTS:
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans corn, drained
1 package taco seasoning
4-5 chicken breasts
1 cup salsa
3/4 cup water

Optional garnish toppings:
Shredded cheese
sour cream
avocado (diced)
lettuce (shredded)
tomatoes (diced)
hot sauce

*Serve in a flour tortillas, or with tortilla chips, rice or eat it like a chili.

DIRECTIONS: 
Put beans, corn, taco seasoning, and water in crock pot and mix together until seasoning is dissolved. Place chicken breasts on top and spread salsa on chicken. Cook on high for 4 hours.

Shred meat and serve however you want (see *explanation above). Garnish with cheese, sour cream, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and hot sauce.

Six Sisters' Stuff said, "This is such an easy freezer meal to make! I just made it with 5 chicken breasts and ate half of it for dinner and froze the other half (in a gallon-sized freezer Ziploc bag) for another night. Make sure you let the food cool before freezing it. On the day that you are ready to eat it, let it thaw and then cook on low in your crock pot for 2-3 hours."

Crock Pot Ranch House Pork Chops

Recipe from:  Real Mom Kitchen

When I made this for dinner, Katie and Josh went bonkers over it.  I was a bit surprised at how much they loved it.  The pork chops were so tender.  I used boned pork chops, but would use boneless next time.  That way your not fishing out bits of bone since it was falling off the bone.  I served it with Parmesan Mashed Potatoes, which I absolutely loved.  Katie thought she would prefer regular mashed potatoes with the gravey.
INGREDIENTS:
6 boneless pork chops, ½ inch thick
1 pkg dry Ranch Dressing Seasoning (3-4 Tablespoons dry mix)
2 (10¾ oz) can Cream of Chicken Soup

DIRECTIONS:
Mix ranch dressing with Cream of Chicken Soup. Place pork chops in crock pot and pour mixture on top. Cook in crock pot on low heat for 6 hours.

I served this with Parmesan Mashed Potatoes, green beans, and a roll.
