Tried Another Recipe...
Ehhh.....not so great. I tried Chicken Tortilla Casserole (a crockpot recipe).
I just never have much luck with the family liking crockpot recipes. It's a shame, really.
Neither of the boys liked it very much. In fact, I think Aaron spit more out that he actually ate. It was okay, I thought...but not my favorite. Too onion-y (is that a word??) for our liking, even though I put less onions in there than it called for! It's a good cold weather meal...but probably won't be making this one again anytime soon. I made Southwest cornbread to go with it...at least the boys ate that.
If you want to try it, here's the recipe:
Recipe #2
Chicken Tortilla Casserole

-4 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked in broth and cut into 1" pieces (reserve 1/4 cup broth chicken was cooked in
-10 6" flour tortillas, cut in strips about 1/2" wide x 2" long
-1 medium onion, chopped
-1 tsp. vegetable oil
-10 3/4-oz can chicken broth
-10 3/4-oz can cream of mushroom soup

Well, you don't know unless you try, right? :) What kinds of things do the boys like?? I still have to send you those recipes I was thinking.. PM at sb.com and let me know what kinds of things they like and I will see what I have. Tonight, I made Mostaccioli.
I'd try it again without the onion at all if your family isn't an onion-liking-family. Especially with little kids. Mine wouldn't touch anything with onions or parsely in it. It looks like a typical slow cooker recipe, nothing unusual about it.
Sorry the recipe wasa bust! But worth a shot! I made a chicken taco soup in that same crock for my girls' day yesterday and it was a hit! PM me if you'd like the recipe?
