Simple Quick Recipes

After working a full day at work the last thing I want to do when I get home is spend a ton of time cooking dinner.  Here are two simple recipes that I made this week.

Spicy Chili Chicken Tacos

This takes about ten minutes to prepare.  In the morning place in a crock pot 3 oz tomato paste, 8 oz tomato sauce, 2 cans of corn, 2 cans of kidney beans, 2 cans of black beans,  (Do not drain the juice) and 1 packet southwest marinade.  Mix ingredients all together.  Add 4 frozen chicken breasts and cover it with sauce.  Cook on low for 8 hours.  Once done shred the chicken and place in soft tacos.  These are really good with cheese and dipped in Ranch dressing.  

Wiener Boats

Using 5 hot dogs cut them in the center but not all the way through.  Place on a cookie sheet.  Cook in the oven on 375 for 8-10 minutes.  Using 1 cup potato pearls add in 2 cups hot water slowly stirring in.  When hot dogs are done place potatoes on top.  Add a half slice craft singles cheese on top.  Place back in oven for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted.  

Roast Recipe

Alright guys I made my very first roast today.  I was pretty proud of the way it turned out.    It was suppose to be just Tyler and I for dinner but we ended up having seven people and there were still leftovers.  Super easy and simple to make.  Hope you enjoy!

I used a rump roast that I bought from Walmart they night before.  Stick the roast inside the crock pot.  Clean five to seven potatoes.  Slice into fourths.  Put inside crock pot around the roast.  Using a small bag of carrots add half the back into the crock pot.  In a separate bowl add one envelope Lipton Beef Onion Soup.  Add 3 cups water and stir together.  Pour over top in the crock pot.  Add onions and garlic to your desire for extra flavor.  Set temperature to low.  I left mine in the crock pot for 12 hours but it should be good to go after 9 hours.
