Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 1 pound of ground Italian sausage, browned and drained
• ½ pound of ground beef, browned and drained
• ½ large white onion, chopped
• 8 ounce box of short pasta (rigatoni, penne or ziti), cooked... but undercooked slightly
• (3) 14 ounce jars of pizza sauce
• 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 8 ounce package of sliced pepperoni, placed between paper towels and microwaved for a few seconds to remove all the grease
• 16 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. In a large bowl mix everything together except for the mozzarella cheese
2. Spray the inside of a 4 - 6 quart Crock-Pot with non-stick spray
3. Layer the mixture alternately with the shredded mozzarella cheese (three layers, ending with the cheese on top)
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 3½ - 4 hours. If cooked for longer than 4 hours or on high it may burn (THREE hours worked perfectly for me)
5. Serve with a side salad

Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos

INGREDIENTS

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• salt + pepper
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• ⅓ cup water
• ½ cup shredded colby or Mexican blend cheese
• 12 6 inch corn or flour tortillas
• optional: cilantro, salsa, sour cream, or other toppings as desired

 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add chicken, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper to taste, cream cheese, and water to crock pot. Cover and cook on low 8 hours or on high 4 hours.
2. minutes before serving, remove chicken from crock pot, shred with two forks, and return to slow cooker. Give it a stir. Let it cook about 15 minutes longer.
3. Preheat oven to 400. Place about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture onto the middle of each tortilla. Top with 1-2 tablespoons shredded cheese. Roll tightly and place in a single layer on a greased baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes, until tortillas are slightly browned and shredded cheese is melted. Serve with desired toppings and sauces.

* * If you use corn tortillas, heat each tortilla on a skillet for about 15-20 seconds before trying to rolls them with the chicken mixture.  I found this prevents them from cracking and breaking open.  After you have them on the pan, spray the tops of the taquitos with cooking spray to make them nice and crispy!
