Crock Pot Chicken Street Tacos

These chicken street tacos are simple enough to make any night of the week, and are perfect for Taco Tuesday. They're so flavorful, and easy to make in your slow cooker. | slow cooker | chicken dinner | taco night | crock pot |

Hello, week… if you’re like me, you’re already looking for the perfect recipe for Taco Tuesday tomorrow and every week… and this one is SO simple that you won’t even have to worry about it. During the summer, I hate using my stove top to boil a chicken but I love chicken tacos year round… boiling a chicken just feels like it makes the whole house a little hot and sticky, which adds a nice warmth in the house in the winter, but is just WAY too hot in summer.

These chicken street tacos are simple enough to make any night of the week, and are perfect for Taco Tuesday. They're so flavorful, and easy to make in your slow cooker. | slow cooker | chicken dinner | taco night | crock pot |

This recipe is SUPER simple… start by layering half of a small jar of your favorite picante sauce– any kind and any level of spice your family likes will work just fine!

Next, layer on 2 pounds of chicken breasts (or use your favorite chicken meat– thighs, legs, even a whole chicken will work since you will be removing it to shred later).

Top with a packet of chicken taco seasoning (or your favorite taco seasoning blend), and pour the remaining picante sauce on top.

The picante sauce will help keep the chicken from getting dry, while also enhancing the seasoning for extra flavor.

These chicken street tacos are simple enough to make any night of the week, and are perfect for Taco Tuesday. They're so flavorful, and easy to make in your slow cooker. | slow cooker | chicken dinner | taco night | crock pot |

Cook on low for 6-8 hours, until chicken is cooked thoroughly. Remove from the slow cooker and shred the meat. Return the meat to the slow cooker and give it a good stir, then leave it on warm until you’re ready to serve, or serve it right away.

This bacon cheeseburger dip is easy and cheesy, perfect slow cooker recipe for a party! Plus, who doesn't love a good bacon recipe? | crock pot | cheese | easy party recipe |

As dip week comes to a close soon, I’ve saved my best for last, guys. Really– this is a hearty, delicious dip that could almost be considered a meal instead of just an appetizer. I challenge you to find anyone who doesn’t love a bacon cheeseburger (and finding a vegan doesn’t count!) There’s just something about it– the bacon, the ooey-gooey cheese, the juicy beef patty. But bacon cheeseburgers are just not easy party food… however, a bacon cheeseburger DIP, now, that’s another story.

Applewood-Style Slow-Cooked Pulled Pork with Homemade Apple Cider Barbecue Sauce

- Mama Leave a comment

This applewood-style pulled pork is made in a slow-cooker using apple cider! Even better? That barbecue sauce is homemade, a sweet, tangy sauce packed with flavor. You won't be able to resist this hearty apple-inspired meal.

I have to say, I’m a Kansas City girl at heart. So if there’s one thing that gets my heart beating a little bit faster, it’s good quality barbecue. You see, barbecue is such a part of my city that our soccer team even has a chant that revolves around barbecue. It’s a staple here in KC. You know what else is a staple? Louisburg Apple Cider. Ask anyone who knows what they’re talking about, and they’ll say that, when it comes time for cooler weather, you can’t beat hot apple cider doughnuts and a cup of warm Louisburg apple cider. I had to combine the best of both worlds and create a delicious applewood-style slow cooked pulled pork. And what does that need? Apple Cider Barbecue Sauce.

I love macaroni and cheese. It seems like the ultimate comfort food, especially in the winter. The best mac and cheese is creamy, with just the right amount of good, wholesome cheese.

So, when I teamed up with Crystal Farms and saw their mac and cheese blend, I knew exactly what I needed to do. And, you’re going to want to stick around to the very end for this one, because you could win this Crock Pot Programmable Cook and Carry Slow Cooker and some Crystal Farms coupons so you can make Mac and Cheese just like this at home (plus a ton of other great cheesy slow cooker recipes!)
