Shredded BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

6 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
1 (12 oz) bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce --we like famous dave's
1/2 cup Italian dressing
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Combine all ingredients in crock pot.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
Drain off excess liquid (keep on the side) and shred chicken with forks. Add drained liquid back as needed to keep meat moist and cook for additional 1/2 hour.
Serve on buns. Wonderful with cheese on top!

Crockpot Southwestern Chicken

1 small bag frozen corn
1 can black beans
2 large frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts (it’s safest to thaw them first before placing in the slow cooker, although I usually add them frozen)
1 16-oz jar medium salsa, such as Pace medium picante sauce
shredded cheddar cheese
tortilla chips
sour cream
chopped cilantro
diced avocado

Pour bag of frozen corn in bottom of crockpot. Place chicken breasts on top of corn and cover with rinsed and drained black beans and jar of medium salsa. Cook on high for 1 hour, and then on low for 4 hours. Shred chicken with forks. Serve with tortilla chips and add toppings to individual servings.
**It is very important that you use MEDIUM salsa in this. Mild simply isn’t flavorful enough. Be sure to serve with tortilla chips, and not tortillas. The salty crunchy chips make this so good!

Crock Pot Chili

Serves 2-4

1 large (about 16 oz.) can of chili without beans
1 (8oz.) can of refried beans

1. Put in crock pot. Turn crock pot on low. It takes about 2 hours for the chili to warm up, but you can leave it in the pot several hours. Just check it now and then and make sure it isn’t burning. You may need to add a small amount of tomato sauce if it is getting too thick.

--You can also experiment (which your Grandmother has done) and add onions, or peppers, or kidney beans, or tomato sauce or cherrios, oh wait, she never added cherrios.

--Serve with grated cheese on top, and some bread and you both will be happy campers.
--You can also freeze what you don’t eat. It warms up very nicely.
