CrockPot Mushroom Chicken

I love my slow cooker. I always seem to be on the hunt for new recipes to try. I found this one recently and it's so easy. Just dump it all in and head off on your day.

I used precooked bacon and let it cook with the chicken all day. It really gave it a great flavor. I served the chicken and sauce over rice.

Crockpot Mushroom Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves  (no need to cook them first, toss them in frozen or thawed)

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 cup sour cream

4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled (*I use pre-cooked bacon)

Place chicken in slow cooker. Combine soup and sour cream; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Sprinkle with bacon.

Beef Taco Skillet

This extremely easy recipe was in a packet that came in the mail this past week. As usual, I didn't follow the recipe exactly as it was written. I added a few more things.

I couldn't believe how quick and easy this was. I told hubby that I was going to start dinner and 15 minutes later, I told him it was ready. He thought I was calling him to come help me!

Beef Taco Skillet

1 lb. ground beef

1 can tomato soup

1/2 cup salsa

1/2 cup water

6 flour tortillas (6 inch), cut into 1 inch pieces

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Cook beef in skillet until browned; pour off fat.

Stir in soup, salsa, water, & tortillas. Heat to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Top with cheese.

Here's what I changed:

• added taco seasoning to ground beef
• added sour cream
• added black olives

Yep, doesn't get any easier than that!

Next time, I'll add corn & use tortilla chips instead of flour tortillas.

This dessert is so easy to make and perfect for warm weather!
