    I make chili in the crock pot but it takes a little longer. I put in about 3 large (I think they are 28oz) cans of diced tomatoes and about 3-4 cans of kidney beans. Sometimes for variety I substitute a portion of black beans. Cook until the next day then add a package of onion soup mix, about 4 tbsp (depending on how spicy you like it) chili powder, 1-2 lb of (cooked on stove - it's fast!) lean ground beef and hot sauce to taste. It's YUMMY - makes about 10 servings at about 350-400 calories per serving and is a great source of protein. I used to always make it with just 1 lb of ground beef but recently went up to 2 because I am trying to eat more protein. I have also made it with soy meat and it is good that way too- and lower in fat.

    I did a similar recipe -minus the taco seasoning and cream of mushroom, but I added corn and black beans and spread it on a corn tortilla with sour cream on top. SO good!

    We LOVE LOVE LOVE this one:

    2 skinless, boneless chicken breast
    2 cans of Campbell's Healthy Request Cream of Chicken Soup

    And that's it :) LOL I always make sure to season up the chicken with garlic powder, black pepper and some seasoning salt. It's not super healthy, but my family loves it and it's easy!

    Here's one I just did last week:

    2 pieces of chicken (leg & thigh, skin on & bone in). You could use chicken breasts if you want - DH likes dark meat better.
    1 can Aldi's pineapple chunks
    2 tablespoons brown sugar (and honestly I could have skipped these)
    1 big sweet potato, cut into pieces (big chunks.)

    Good things about this recipe: Super easy, the chicken was amazingly tender, the whole thing fed 2 people (generously!) for ~350 cals.

    Bad thing: the sugar from the pineapple - or even the brown sugar - burned to the side of the crock pot. It was a bit of a challenge to clean up. :)

    OK, my friend and I are lost with the bump..bump...thing.

    We work 'with' younger folks and aren't familiar with the saying?

    Does it just mean it's a good thing, or cool or something equal to that?

    Just curious, mean NO offense.

    Thank you for clarifying!
