Slowcooking Friday!

I have had alot of you ask about some slowcooker recipes. I am going to show you a few of my favorites.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Slowcooker edition

2  turkey bacon strips, cooked and crumbles
1 tsp minced garlic
1 package ranch dressing mix (use half for less "punch")
1 10.75 oz can condensed cream of chicken soup (98% fat free)
1 cup fat-free sour cream
16 oz. chicken breasts, frozen or defrosted/raw
8 oz. rigatoni, cooked

Combine the first five ingredients. Place frozen or defrosted/raw chicken in slowcooker sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and pour sauce over the top (do NOT include water like the can mentions). Cook on high for 3.5 hours. Shred chicken with two forks. Cook pasta per package instructions on stove. Serve chicken over pasta.

This isnt really a freezer meal, but one of my low fat fav's so I thought I would share!

*Please note that I did not create these meals. These were all inspired from different blogs and Pinterest over time. I will start making sure I keep track of where I get recipes so I can credit the creator!


I did make this one up...it is not that healthy but it is cheap, quick and easy. (Not much to it)
My family loves it.

Mandi's hodge podge
2 packages link Sausage (we use the Great Value brand from Walmart)( skiced or 3inch pieces)
1/2 Onion cubed
1 bell pepper sliced
1/2 zucchini cubed
1/2 sqaush cubed

Put all above in freezer bag and freeze. On the day you cook it, put in crock pot and add 1 cup of water. Cook 6 to 8 hours on low. When you get ready to serve, drain water, add Worcestershire sauce to taste. We usually season with Webber's Garlic and herb as well.


Happy Friday Ya'll!
