Chicana In The Crock Pot Recipes

STEAK CHICANA

Steps:

• Cut the chuck roast into 2-inch cubes and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil on medium-high in a Dutch oven until shimmering.
• Add the meat and brown on all sides.
• Add sliced onion and saute for 5 minutes.
• Add bell pepper and garlic and saute for another 5 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, and seasonings and bring to a simmer.
• Cover and simmer on low for three hours on stove. Alternatively, you may cover and put in a 300-degree oven and cook for three hours. You may also cook for 8 hours on low in a 6-quart slow cooker (or 6 hours on high).
• Serve in tortillas with beans (like a burrito) or on its own in a bowl and enjoy!

CHICANA

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Throw in the round steak, bell pepper and onion. Pour the tomato sauce and water over all, and season with garlic, cumin and chili powder. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN CARNITAS

Steps:

• Dissolve chicken bouillon in boiling water.
• Heat oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent and browned, about 5 minutes. Add jalapenos and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add green chiles; cook for 3 minutes more.
• Mix salt, cilantro, Mexican seasoning, cumin, basil, oregano, garlic powder, seasoning blend, chile powder, paprika, mustard powder, and black pepper together in a bowl.
• Trim chicken as needed. Coat all sides with the seasoning blend.
• Place onion mixture in a slow cooker. Add chicken broth, juice and zest from the limes and orange, and garlic cloves. Place chicken on top. Cover and cook on Low until chicken is no longer pink inside and very tender, 4 to 6 hours.

CHICANA-IN THE CROCK POT

Steps:

• Cut the steak, bell peppers, onion and jalapeno into bite sized pieces or strips.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the vegetables to the heated pan and cook until crisp-tender.
• Add the steak and garlic to the pan with the vegetables and cook until steak is browned.
• Add both cans of tomatoes, the salsa, and salt and pepper to taste to the pan.
• Pour the mixture into your crockpot and cook on low for 5-8 hours.
• Serve with tortillas, rice and beans.
• NOTE: I gave this such a long cooking time because it definitely does not bother it to be cooked for 8 hours in the crockpot. However, it is typically done and tender in 5 hours.

CHICANA...MEXICAN I THINK?

Steps:

• In crockpot add the roast, peppers, onion, garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder and salt. Stir until well combined.
• Set crockpot for 8 hours if you have a timer on low and let cook.
• Serve with refried beans and rice!
• If cooking on the stove, add a 28 oz can of water (the can the tomatoes were in) to start with, you may need more or not as the cooking time goes on. You may have a faster cook time with this method.

CREAMY ITALIAN SLOW COOKER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse chicken, and pat dry with paper towels. Place chicken breasts into a slow cooker, and drizzle melted butter all over the chicken breasts, lifting them up to allow butter to flow underneath the chicken. Cover the cooker, set to High, and cook until tender, 4 to 5 hours. With a metal spatula, chop up the chicken into bite-size pieces in the slow cooker.
• Place the cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, Italian salad dressing mix, and sherry into a saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the cream cheese has melted and the sauce is well combined. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker; cover, and cook on High until the flavors have blended and the sauce is bubbling, about 30 more minutes.
