hey look an update!

Made a really dirt simple thing that tasted great yesterday- Pollo Colorado in the crock pot.

This is the recipe in its entirety:

2 medium yellow onions, sliced
2 red bell peppers, sliced
3-4 chicken breasts
1 28 oz can red chili sauce

Throw the sliced veggies in the crock, stir to combine.
Layer the chicken on top.
Dump the chili sauce over the top, turn dial to 'low' and let it go for 6 or 7 hours.
Shred the chicken, toss back in pot, stir up.

We used it for tacos, but it'd probably work better with burritos, with rice to soak up the juice.

YUM.
As good as it was with canned chili sauce, I can't wait to try it with home made.

  2. I'm a born again crock pot evangelist.
    I can't understand why everyone isn't using them all the time.

  3. I have turkey chili (with black beans, cilantro, etc.) in the pot right now. I'll post the recipe for you soon! Goes great with margaritas, which are hubby's specialty.

  4. I have an irrational fear them because of fire risk and low temp bacterial growth.
