Crock Pot Salsa Chicken

Image
You will need taco seasoning, salsa and boneless skinless chicken breasts. You will need 1-1.25 oz packet of taco seasoning. You will need 1-15.5 oz jar of your favorite salsa. Combine your taco seasoning and your salsa together and set aside. Cut 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts into 1 inch strips.  Make sure to trim off any fat.  Spread a small amount of your salsa mix in the bottom of your crock pot. Place a layer of your chicken then salsa mix, the remainder of your chicken and then the remainder of your salsa mix. Cover and cook on low for at least 8 hours.  There is no need to stir.  When the 8 hours is up stir well and your chicken will just fall apart into shreds.  Great on a tortilla with some low fat cheese and fat free sour cream for a healthy dinner. ENJOY!!!

Beefy Mac and Cheese Casserole

Image
You will need zucchini, onion, cheery or grape tomatoes, garlic powder, fat-free cottage cheese, beef, bacon, Alfredo sauce, pasta and cheddar cheese. Start your water to cook your pasta (1 pound box, your choice) and cook as directed on box. In a large skillet cook 1 lb lean ground beef.  As the beef is cooking, finely chop 1 cup onion and slice and quarter 1 cup zucchini (medium sized zucchini). Add your onion, zucchini and 1 tablespoon garlic powder to your beef once cooked fully and drained of any extra grease.  Lower the heat to low/medium.  Cook for around 5-10 minutes to soften up the onions and zucchini. Chop up 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes and add to your beef mixture. Add 1/2 cup pre-cooked and crumbled up bacon. Let cook 5 minutes longer, mixing every so often. To your beef mixture add 3/4 cup fat-free cottage cheese and 15oz jar Alfredo sauce.  Mix very well.  Continue to cook on low until your pasta is ready. ...
