Way back when my (now) teenager/tween were itty bitty, I used to gather recipes from old recipe books, magazines and family members.  One time I spent hours at my aunt’s house painstakingly hand writing all of my favorite recipes from her onto little cards.  Some of those recipes are still of the of the ones I go to over and over.   Today’s recipe is from an old magazine that I’ve added altered just slightly: Slow Cooker Chicken Tex Mex.

The original recipe didn’t call for chips or sour cream.  You can omit those if you want.  I felt like it needed a crunch and that the sour cream balanced added something to it.  But it’s fine on it’s own too.

With all the running around lately, my slow cooker has saved me over and over.  I know lots of people don’t have one or don’t use theirs very much.  But the idea that I can put everything into a pot early in the morning and come back to a warm meal waiting for our starving family.. yes, please.

  1. I have used this recipe a couple times, but I added a chopped, medium sized onion the second time. I personally think the onion improves the meal…. but then I like onions.
