Texas Crockpot Chicken Chili

slow cooker, hot summer nights, perfect summer cooker Here’s another slow cooker specialty from Texas Pepper Jelly to help you plan and prepare good, hot, nutritious meals even on these horrifically hot summer nights.

Our Texas Crockpot Chicken Chili is delicious and different, and we think your family will love it!

Ingredients:

3 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 onion, chopped
1 16-oz can of chili beans (drain)
1 15-oz can of black beans (drain)
1 15-oz can of corn, drained
1 cup of Texas Bird Bath
1 cup tomato sauce
2 cups of diced tomatoes
1/2 cup green chilis
1 can of beer
shredded Cheddar cheese
sour cream

What to do:

Put the onions, chili beans, black beans, corn, Texas Bird Bath, tomato sauce, beer, and diced tomatoes in the crockpot, and stir well. Place the chicken breasts on top of the mixture and press down slightly until barely covered by the mixture.

Put the lid on the slow cooker, set the dial on low, and don’t give it another thought for 5 or 6 hours.

After 5 or 6 hours, remove the chicken breasts, let them cool just enough to be handled, and shred the chicken.

Stir the shredded chicken back into the mixture and continue cooking for two more hours.

Serve hot, topped with the cheese and sour cream if desired. My kids prefer crushed crackers, but my husband loves the cheese and sour cream. He also wants more diced onion sprinkled on his.

And there you have it: an easy, nutritious, delicious hot meal that doesn’t compromise your home’s air conditioning even on the hottest summer days!

Texas Tortellini Soup

This recipe for Texas Tortellini Soup uses enough pre-made ingredients to be super easy, and enough additional ingredients that you can tell your family it’s “homemade!”

Ingredients:

1 9-oz package of refrigerated cheese tortellini
2 cans of condensed tomato soup, undiluted
1 1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 cup Texas Pepper Jelly’s Candied Jalapenos
2 cups milk (I use skim)
2 ups half-and-half cream (you can’t substitute this one!)
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes (canned or fresh)
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (not the powdered kind!)
Additional cheese to taste

What to do:

Cook the tortellini according to package directions, drain, and set aside.

In a Dutch oven, combine everything else except the cheese, and heat to simmer, stirring constantly. Don’t let it stick! Add the tortellini and cheese. Sprinkle the additional cheese on each bowl if desired. This recipe will feed a crowd, and it’s just as awesome the next day!

Spicy Crockpot Chicken Soup

You know that wonderful feeling, when you’re at work, of remembering that your dinner has been cooking all day in your crockpot and will be ready to eat the very moment you walk through the door tonight. . . .

Why not make some Spicy Crockpot Chicken Soup tonight!

Ingredients:

1 16-oz can of chili beans, drained
1 16-oz can of black beans, drained
1 15-oz can of whole kernel corn, drained
1 8-oz can of tomato sauce
1 can of beer (yes, you read that right!)
1 large onion, chopped
2 10-oz cans of diced tomatoes
1 small can of diced green chilies – undrained
1 cup Texas Bird Bath
3 whole skinless chicken breasts
shredded cheese – whatever kind our family likes best
sour cream

What to do:

Put everything except the chicken, cheese, and sour cream in your crockpot, and stir to blend well. Lay the chicken breasts on top of the mixture. Set our crockpot on low, cover, and go to work.

When you get home six or so hours later, remove the chicken breasts, let them cool, and shred them. Add the shredded chicken back into the soup. You can then serve right away, or let it cook for two/three more hours to blend even more.

Serve with the shredded cheese and sour cream. Lay some crackers on the table, give everybody a big soup bowl and spoon, and stand back.

If you have leftovers, put them in the refrigerator. Your soup will be even better tomorrow.

This recipe makes AWESOME soup. Your family will love it.

Christmas in Texas: Like A Bowlful of Jelly

Santa, according to the poem, had a belly that shook like a bowlful of jelly when he laughed. Whenever I hear or read that, it’s not regular jelly that comes to my mind any more.

It’s Texas Pepper Jelly.

My family have gotten into the habit of using pepper jelly on something at almost every meal now. So, I’ve gotten into the habit of putting a bowlful of pepper jelly on the table for all three meals.

I’ve caught them all licking the spoon, too.

We put pepper jelly in coffee, sangria, tea, cocoa, and water. We freeze pepper jelly in ice cube trays and drop ‘em in lemonade and punch. We put pepper jelly on mashed potatoes, and toast, and biscuits. We use pepper jelly in baked beans, and salads of all kinds. We marinade chicken, and pork, and fish in pepper jelly. Pepper jelly has replaced butter on our table. My kids put pepper jelly on pancakes and waffles and French toast. My husband makes a peanut butter-and-pepper jelly sandwich when he gets home from school. We stir it into soup. We use it instead of salad dressing. We spread it on most sandwiches.

Texas peppr jelly Christmas logoReally, I can’t think of a single pepper jelly “experiment” that flopped. The stuff is just so good.

About that sangria with pepper jelly. . . . I highly recommend that one. I mean, it’s fruit, right?

Be sure you set out a bowlful of pepper jelly on your holiday table. Santa’s watching you.

Spicy Apple Habanero Beef Stew

crockpotpepperjelly It’s almost October, and people are starting to remember all those hot and hearty soups and stews from last winter! There’s nothing like a thick, delicious crockpot stew to make an autumn supper perfect. Texas Pepper Jelly has a fabulous one, and we know your family will love it!

Ingredients:

2 pounds beef stew meat (a cheap cut will do fine – crockpot cooking guarantees tender meat!)
8 carrots, sliced thin
6 medium potatoes, unpeeled, sliced thin
3 Granny Smith apples, unpeeled, sliced thin
dash of thyme
one large onion, chopped fine
1 cup apple cider
1 cup Apple Habanero pepper jelly
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water

What to do:

Put everything except the cornstarch in your crockpot and stir. Put the lid back on, set the crockpot to “low,” and go on to work. When you get back home in approximately 8 hours, check the contents to make sure the meat is done. If it isn’t absolutely tender, replace the lid and cook for another two hours. When the meat is done, everything else should be done, too. Turn the crockpot to “high” and add the cornstarch and water; stir until thickened.

I always serve cornbread with crockpot stews, and the combination makes an awesome cool-weather supper.

If you have any stew left over – which is doubtful – it’s even better warmed up the next day.

A Feast of Fridays: Spicy Many-Bean Soup

feastoffridays There’s nothing like a crockpot full of soup on a cold winter’s day. That’s what my family believes, anyway.

So, last night I filled the slow cooker with the following, turned it on “low,” and went to bed. We’re having spicy many-bean soup for supper tonight, with corn bread, butter, and what’s left of the pepper jelly. :)

Here’s what to do: Dump the following ingredients into your large crockpot:

1 package assorted types of beans
1 cup black beans
1 can diced tomatoes
2 huge onions, slivered
2/3 cup Texas Rib Candy, any flavor
Dash of the following spices: oregano, garlic, nutmeg, cumin, chili powder, pepper, and salt
1 cups water

Then, go to bed. Or go to work. Either way, you need to leave your crockpot alone for about ten hours.

Mmm, hot soup on a cold day. Perfection.
