This is one of my new favorites. It is actually pretty healthy for you. If you liked the very first recipe I posted, Garlic Chicken Proscuitto Pasta, you will definately love this one!

CrockPot Chicken Tortilla Soup

I thought that I would post two recipes today since I have not posted in a while. This recipe came from my friend, Lisa over at Lisa Writes. Boy, does she know how to use a CrockPot. Try this recipe out when you know that you won't have much time. It has a great Cumin flavor.

Take:

Four chicken breasts or whatever chicken pieces you have or want to use

2 cups chicken broth

1 can Ro Tel

Chopped Onion

1 tsp minced garlic

Salt

Pepper

Cumin

Put above ingredients in Crock Pot and cook on low for 6 hours or until chicken is done. Shred chicken (remove bones) if neccessary and return to Crock Pot.

Mix together:

1 can Cream of Chicken soup

1 can Cream of Mushroom soup

2 more cups of chicken broth

Add to Crock Pot and turn to high. When soup is hot, add four tortillas cut in thin strips. Heat thoroughly (10 to 15 minutes). Serve with grated cheese and sour cream.

Cheesy Beef Cups

This looks like a great appetizer from "Guest Chef" Justin Quarles.

Ingredients:

1 package of ground beef
1 can of biscuits whichever you prefer
BBQ sauce
Graded cheese

Directions:

• Brown ground beef and drain
• Mix in 1/2cup to cup of BBQ sauce (depending on the size of ground beef)
• Press biscuits into muffin pan and fill with beef


• Top with cheese and cook 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees

Yields nine with a can of grands biscuits, larger family may use 2 cans of biscuits and bigger pack of ground beef. Enjoy!
