So...this is sooooo so simple....the latest crock pot meal!
take your frozen chicken...dump it in your crock pot....
pour over a bottle of salsa (we use pace picante medium)
turn on low for the day...
come home. turn off. pull out chicken. it just tears all apart...it's shredded amazing juicy chicken for burritos and nachos for dinner.
do it!!
if you have more crock pot meals, send them my way : ) i'll test them out on our fam. the kids loved the chicken-but i didn't tell them about it-i just made their burritos and they ate them! if i would have told them salsa was the main ingredient-i would have lost them!
enjoy!

Crock Pot Lasagna
This is a tried and approved recipe from my very casserole hating husband. He doesn't do lasagna, ever...in our marriage or pot lucks...he'll eat it just because he doesn't want to offend, but inside he just doesn't like it at all. But...I asked him if i could try this recipe on him-and he LIKED it...he even at more the next day and said "this is better the next day"!! YIPPEE!!
My dear friend from high school Christine posted this on my facebook when I did a call out to everyone to share some crockpot recipes that didn't need a lot of fuss. You do need to cook the beef first-BUT...it's quick and not intense. Here ya go!! Enjoy!!
