Portabella Mushroom Sandwiches

thisis4me

Tried this today for lunch and it was yummy!! My kids even liked them. We had ours wrapped in whole wheat tortillas.....Yumm:)http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2010/10/portobello-mushroom-sandwiches-crockpot.html



This is a dump and go recipe---no chopping required! You do have to get the stems out of the mushrooms, but you easily can do that on a little plastic plate or paper towel.


4 large portobello (bella) mushrooms, stems removed ( I sliced mine before putting in pot)
1/4 cup light Italian salad dressing
1 (7-ounce) jar roasted red peppers




Use a 4-quart slow cooker. Wash the mushrooms, and remove and discard the stems.
Put the mushrooms into your pot, and add the entire jar of roasted peppers and the salad dressing. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or on high for about 2 hours.

Cooked mine for 2 hours on high and thought they were just right!!:)

This is a good easy recipe too and even though there are some spicy ingredients it was very pleasing and not hot at all.

Chicken Tostadas

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1 medium onion, sliced and separated into rings

10 tostada shells
1 16-ounce can fat free refried beans
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 1/2 cups shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese (6 ounces)
1 cup chopped seeded tomato

1. In a 3 1/2 to 5 quart slow cooker, combine chicken, onion, chili powder, lime juice, jalapenos, garlic and hot pepper sauce. (I mixed chili powder, lime juice, jalapenos, garlic and hot pepper sauce in a small bowl and then poured over the meat.)
2. Cover and cook on low-heating setting for 5 to 6 hours on low or 2 1/2 to 3 hours on high
3. using a slotted spoon, remove chicken and onion from cooker. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid; discard remaining liquid. using two forks, shred chicken. In a bowl, combine shredded chicken onion and the reserved 1/2 cup liquid.
