Enchilada Soup - crockpot

I found the main recipe for this in a Pillsbury Slow Cooker cookbook. I made a few changes and adapted it for our family.

• 2 cups chicken broth
• 19oz (2 cans) Enchilada Sauce (I used medium, use mild for less kick and hot for more)
• 4.5oz (1 can) chopped mild green chiles (I used 1/2 can)
• 1.5 lbs chicken breast
• 15oz (1 can) black beans - drained and rinsed
• 12oz (1bag) frozen corn

Garnish (as desired): Fat Free sour cream, shredded Mexican Cheese, chopped fresh cilantro, crushed tortilla chips or Fritos

Spray 4-5 quart crockpot with cooking spray. Mix broth, enchilada sauce and chiles. Place chicken in sauce, spooning over sauce if needed. Cover and cook on low 7-8hrs (mine cooked 9 and was fine).

Remove chicken from crockpot. Stir beans and corn into mixture in crockpot. Increase heat setting to high. Shred chicken and return to crockpot. Cook additional 5-10 minutes. Top each serving with Garnish as desired.

Pork Chops with Salsa Beans

I came across this recipe in a Pillsbury cookbook and modified a bit for us.

• 2 bone-in center-cut pork loin chops; 1/2" thick (I use boneless)
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1/2 cup Salsa (recipe calls for chunky - I used Kroger brand picante)
• 16 oz baked bean; undrained (I used Bush's Country Style)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Spray crockpot with cooking spray. Mix corn, salsa, and beans. Season one side of pork chops with salt and pepper. Put seasoned side down on top of bean mixture. Overlap as necessary and press gently into beans. Season remaining side of pork chops with salt and pepper.

Cover. Cook on Low 4 to 5 hours.

OPTIONAL: Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops. Place in skillet. Cook 2-4 minutes or until browned on both sides. Obviously I skipped this step since it is just something else to clean and it is not needed.
