Julie's Lower Sodium Crock Pot Chili

1 bell pepper - chopped
1 onion - chopped
4 or 5 cloves chopped garlic (or minced from a jar!)

1 pound ground beef

2 cans chili hot beans
1 can red kidney beans (RINSED)
1 can kidney beans (RINSED)
1 can no salt added diced tomatoes
1 can tomatoes w/chilies

1 package lower sodium chili seasoning
cumin

fritos (optional)
cheddar cheese (optional)

____________________________
In a large skillet, sautee bell pepper, onion and garlic.
When that's finished, put the sauteed mixture in the crock pot.

Brown ground beef and add in 1/2 of the seasoning packet.

While that's browning, empty contents of canned items into the crock pot. Be sure to rinse the 2 cans of kidney beans (do not rinse the hot beans).

After beef is finished cooking, pour it in to the crock pot with the other ingredients. Add in some cumin. (I think the seasoning mix is short on cumin :o)

Cook on low for a few hours till it's all warmed through.

We love it over fritos and topped with shredded cheddar cheese!

Crockpot Chicken & Mushrooms in White Wine Cream Sauce

Crockpot Chicken & Mushrooms in White Wine (Alter ingredients to serve more - this feeds me, Bruce and Abby)

*I bet you could do this with a whole chicken in the crockpot, too!

3 frozen chicken breasts

Fresh Chopped Parsley (I use about half of the bunch I get from Kroger)

Package of fresh Mushrooms - sliced (whole would work, too)

1 can reduced sodium cream of mushroom soup

heaping spoonful of chopped garlic (I keep a huge jar in the fridge - pre minced from Kroger)

1 small onion - sliced thin

salt and pepper to taste

Put chicken in crockpot - (Can be put in totally frozen!)

Add mushroom soup and then all other ingredients - You don't even have to stir it yet!

Cover and cook on low or high depending on how much time you have before dinner! Stir occasionally (or not! you can't mess things up in the crock pot!!!)

I'm serving this tonight with wheat "egg" noodles but brown rice is also good :o)
