ROTEL IN CROCK POT RECIPES

Steps:

• Rinse peas. Drain and place in Crock Pot.
• Pour in chicken broth. Add water to bring the liquid just to the top of the peas.
• Bury the ham bone down into the peas. (If you don't have a bone I use chunks of ham and it works just as well.)
• Add the chopped onion, bay leaves, can of Rotel tomatoes, and garlic powder.
• Cover and set Crock Pot to low for 8 hrs.
• At that time, remove bone. Remove any meat from the bone. Cut into bite-sized pieces (you want about two cups total).
• Add ham to the Crock Pot. Recover and continue to cook for 2 more hours.
• Remove bay leaves. Serve with cornbread and enjoy!
• Note: If you do not use a ham bone and have only chunks of ham then just cook on low for 10 hrs and increase the amount of ham to about 3 cups. I use a 6 qt Crock Pot and it is full when all ingredients are added. If you are having trouble with room in the pot you can adjust the liquid to less.

Steps:

• Season the chicken with adobo (or salt), then place in the crock pot and top with salsa, garlic powder and 1/2 tsp cumin.
• Cover and cook LOW for 4 hours. When cooked, remove the chicken and set on a large plate; shred with two forks. Pour the liquid into a bowl and reserve, then place the shredded chicken back into the crock pot, adjust salt to taste and add remaining 1/4 tsp cumin.
• Pour 3/4 cup of the reserved liquid back into the crock pot and cover until ready to serve.
• Makes about 2 3/4 cups chicken.
