    I did not read thru all the pages, so forgive me if this has already been said. Get the Fix it And Forget It! cookbooks!! They are all crock pot recipes and are very budget friendly and good stuff! I have had my book for about 10 years and it is one I pull out a few times a week and nothing I have ever made has not been good.

    Taco Soup

    2 cans beans....I use chili beans for the flavor
    1 can whole kernel corn, drained
    1 can cream corn
    1 can stewed tomatoes
    1 can rotel (can use 2 cans stewed tomatoes if trying to keep it nonspicy)
    1 pkg taco seasoning
    1 pound ground beef or turkey (I leave the meat out sometimes too and it's just as good)

    Mix together and cook on low all day.

    Serve with taco fixings over tortilla chips or by itself with just cheese and salsa. My kids have loved this for years. I cook in the crockpot all the time to save time, so I have all kinds of kid friendly dishes.....just let me know if you want more :)


    I made this one, but I added about 2 cups of water to it- the family LOVED it!!! Served with Juanita's chips and cheese, and mixed in a little FF sour cream for mine and the kids. big hit with the hubs!

    Salsa Chicken

    1 can of black beans (drained)
    1 can of corn (undrained)
    1 jar of salsa (I use Pace Mild)
    4-6 skinless boneless chicken breasts

    Throw all the ingredients in the crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours. Once cooked shred chicken and serve over rice or on tortillas shells or tortilla chips for burritos or nachos. I also offer some shredded cheddar cheese (fat free for me) and lettuce. Very easy and my two preschoolers love it.

    Crock Pot Meatloaf

    2 lbs. ground beef (I use ground turkey)
    3/4 c milk (I use skim)
    3/4 breadcrumbs (I use Italian flavored breadcrumbs)
    2 eggs
    1 Package Lipton Beefy Onion Soup Mix (not prepared)

    Combine all ingredients, shape into a loaf and cook in crock pot on low for 4-6 hours. I line my crock pot with aluminim foil and place the loaf on top. Makes for easy cleanup.

    This sounds really good. I'm gonna try it this weekend!
