Superbowl whaat?

OK so the word on the street is that today is the Superbowl - it's not really on my radar too much this year. I did not even know which the teams were playing until this morning. But anyway - in honor of the Superbowl and party-type food, here is a great crock-pot recipe for pulled pork.

3 1/2-4 lbs pork tenderloin
I can condensed French Onion soup
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
3 Tbsp brown sugar

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Cook on low 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours. Close to the end of cooking time I use tongs to poke and pull at the pork to shred it and mix it up. Serve on bulkie rolls or hamburger buns. Delicious. Thanks to my Sissy for this recipe!!

Crock Potting It!

I am all about the slow-cooker. I love the convenience, I love that you can leave the house all afternoon and come home to dinner, I love throwing everything in one pot, and importantly, I never met a cream of chicken soup recipe I didn't like.

Speaking of that certain pantry staple we all know and love, here is a really easy, really yummy chicken recipe for the slow cooker, and yes, naturally it includes cream of chicken soup. There is nothing fancy or innovative about this at all, it's about as down-and-dirty simple as it gets. My kids and hubby love it. A meal that everyone likes enough to clean their plates is a winner in my book, and I don't care how many cans of Campbell's it takes.

Take 1 1/2 ponds of boneless chicken breasts and place them in the bottom of the crock pot.

Season to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Cover the chicken with 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and 1 can of cheddar cheese soup.

Cover and set the slow cooker to high, cook for 4-6 hours or until chicken is falling apart.

I served this with white rice. Could also be good with egg noodles. There is tons of the cheesy sauce in proportion to the chicken which is great because then you have plenty to spoon up with the rice. The chicken is so moist, easy for little kids to eat and not dry at all. I also made broccoli for a veg (trees! say my girls), and the cheese sauce was the perfect thing for mushing onto the broccoli also. Enjoy!
