Barbecue Chicken

Put split chicken breasts in the crock pot (can still be frozen).  Pour about 2 bottles of your favorite barbecue sauce over it.  Cook on high for a few hours or low all day.  We ususally have it with mashed potatoes.

Another fun take on the chicken is to make barbecue chicken nachos.  Once the chicken is down, pull it off the bone and shred.  Layer tortilla chips, chicken, black beans, corn, and cheese on a lined pizza pan.  Bake for about 10 minutes at 400 degrees.  Top with sour cream, salsa, and avocado.  Put the nachos in the center of the table and eat from it.  No plates required!

Chalupa

1 lb. pinto beans
3 lbs. pork roast
7 cups water
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cummin
1 teaspoon oregano
1 can chopped green chilies

Put all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low all day.  Remove lid for last 30 minutes and it will thicken a bit.  Serve over corn chips or wrapped in a tortilla.  Top with your favorite toppings.  We like cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, cilantro, and avocado.
