Ooey Gooies

So tonight for dinner I made another recipe from the school cookbook and once again it was YUMMY! Another thing I wasn't the biggest fan of when we got married was Mexican food and once again it was because I hadn't really eaten it very much or I hadn't eaten very good Mexican food. I now LOVE eating Mexican food, one of my favourite places to go eat is Cafe Rio and I always get their pork, can you say DELICIOUS :) Most of my family liked this meal tonight but I always make my kids eat everything they take or I give them. I think it's good for them to try EVERYTHING! Of course I know there are things that they don't like but I also think they need to try new things at least once. Anyway here's the recipe, this one was brought to you by Macy Sautter (hahaha, I feel like I'm on Sesame Street).

3 chicken breasts (I used 5 because we like meat at our house)
1 (10.5 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (10.5 oz.) can cream of chicken soup
1 c. salsa
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chilies
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 c. shredded monterey jack cheese

Put frozen or non-frozen chicken breasts in a crock pot. Mix together soups, salsa, green chilies, beans and spices and pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6 hours. After 6 hours shred chicken and add cheese and cook for another 30 minutes. Serve in a tortilla like a taco. This meal is about 2105 calories altogether (it was 2265 for me because I added more chicken). Then just divide that by however much you eat and ENJOY!

Instead of using tortilla's for my kids like the recipe called for I put it in a bowl and let them use fritos to scoop it out and they liked that. I used a tortilla and added salad, you could also add rice as well or anything you like. It was thinner than I thought it would be so I think just served over rice would be great too. My friend said she doubled the recipe and froze half of it for another day. We had a Relief Society meeting about freezer meals last month so I will doing that with some of these recipes and will hopefully learn as I go along and will share my tips or disasters with you as I go :)
