Crockpot Shredded Burrito Chicken

I LOVE Chipotle. It's probably my favorite fast food restaurant. We don't have a Chipotle within 45 minutes of my house, so I have to get my Chipotle fix in my kitchen and this recipe does it. First off, if you're looking for a great Cilantro Lime Rice recipe visit this website. This tastes exactly like Chipotle's rice.

This chicken tastes great in enchiladas, burritos, or tacos. This recipe tastes great made with a pork roast in place of the chicken.

Slow cooker Pasta Sauce

This is an easy sauce that cooks all day in your slow cooker. When I make sauce, I make it to last for several meals so this recipe makes a lot. It takes up every inch of my 6 QT slow cooker. If you have a smaller slow cooker, just reduce the amount of tomato sauce you add.

Crock Pot Chicken Soup

January in Chicago means cold, windy, snow and darkness before I leave the office. For this reason, I use my slow cooker at least once a week. There is nothing better than coming home to a meal waiting for you. I have never really liked canned soups with meat in them because I think it already looks chewed (sorry for that visual, but it does). For that reason, I always take the meat out of the soup before I eat it. I have suffered through relentless teasing about this at work, but I'd rather deal with that than eat canned soup meat.

So...I try to make my own soup at home to bring to work. This is a simple chicken soup recipe that tastes great. It makes a lot, so you'll have enough for dinner and a few lunches through the week. I cook my noodles separately because I don't like to freeze soup with noodles in it, and if I don't eat it all, I like to freeze it for later- and without this noodles, this soup freezes well.

Easy Crockpot Chilli

Whenever I make chili for a family gathering, I'm always asked for the recipe.  In fact, my dad has told my mom to get it from me and I used hers!-with a few minor adjustments.

I like my chili simple, beans, tomatoes and beef. I know people get crazy over their chili recipes by adding roasted peppers, three types of meats, soaking beans over night, etc. Not me, this is simple, but its great. In the fall, if I have some tomatoes or peppers from my garden, I will add them to the chili, but for the most part, everything comes from cans. This recipe makes a lot of chili. I like to have leftovers for lunch and after a few days, I'll put it in the freezer for later. I like my chili spicy, so adjust the heat to your liking.

Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup

Here is another awesome healthy slow cooker recipe. This is easy and quick to prepare and tastes great! I add the chicken frozen, so no need to thaw your chicken if it's frozen.

Serve with cheese and Frito's or tortilla chips. Frito's scoops are my fave and I figure since it's such a low calorie dinner, I can splurge a little on a few Frito's.

Crockpot Beef Stew

My slow cooker is my savior. I'm in the car for three hours a day due to my commute and my crock pot is the only thing saving me from going through a drive thru every day. Today it's beef stew. I love a good beef stew on a cold day. The beef is wonderfully tender after cooking all day in the slow cooker and the flavors and aromas of the veggies and spices is the best thing to walk in the door to after a long day at work.

If you haven't purchased Reynolds slow cooker liners, yet, you're missing out! The only thing I hate about the slow cooker is the mess afterwards and these slow cooker liners make that a non-issue. I highly recommend going out and getting these before your next crock pot meal!
