    STEAK STROGANOFF ...

    Ingredients

    1 small can mushrooms – drained


    I don't like canned, what do you think the equivalent would be in fresh chopped? Do you think it would change anything?
    Thanks!! These look great, I can't wait to pull my crockpot out of hiding!

    CHICKEN TACO SOUP
    Just open a can of this and that and off you go!

    Ingredients
    2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
    1 can (15 oz) baked beans
    1 can (15 oz) kernel corn
    1 can (15 oz) kidney beans
    1 can (14 oz) black beans
    3 cans (14 oz) stewed tomatoes
    1 package taco seasoning mix

    Directions
    • Put chicken breasts in bottom of slow cooker (Crock-pot).
    • Mix all ingredients and pour over chicken.
    • Cook 6-8 hours on LOW heat.
    • Take chicken out and shred with knife and fork and mix back in.
    • Cook another 30 minutes.
    • Serve with low-fat shredded cheese and/or low-fat sour cream.

    Servings per recipe: 16 Per serving: 132 calories, 3 grams fat, 18% calories from fat, 15 grams carbohydrate. (Counts as 2 Weight Watchers points.)

    I make this, but I use more like 2 lbs of chicken breast (frozen work great, but fresh/thawed works too). It really shrinks up in the crockpot. ---you can also brown 1lbs of hamburger meat (beef or turkey) and use that instead. --- I also use pinto beans in place of baked beans and only 1 or 2 cans of tomatoes. Diced tomatoes work well too. I also add a diced onion and a little fresh minced garlic. The next time I make this, I will be using a homemade taco seasoning which will cut the sodium WAY down. Just google homemade taco seasoning, there are a bazillion recipes out there.

    Just use as many as you'd like, it won't really change the nutritionals. In fact, your sodium will probably be reduced. If it were me, I would buy 1 fresh package (i think they are 8oz) - slice them up and toss them in.

    Do you drain the beans before you add them?

    I'm loving all of these recipes (especially the enchiladas and the reuben! ), and I'm glad that most are posting nutritional info. I'm wondering if, with this info, you could also post serving sizes?

    I posted the Chicken Ruben bake and the scalloped chicken. Both have serving sizes listed, but they are 1 to 1 1/2 cups per serving according to the recipes. I got these from my Fix-it and Forget-it Diabetic crock pot cookbook.
