Food Network Crockpot Chicken Chile

I give credit to Carolina for this one. She served it at Christophers b-day party and we all fell in love. I decided to serve it at Mikey's b-day and it was a hit again. It kindof has a lot of little ingredients but most are items already in the cupboard, it is really pretty easy.

2 lbs. ground chicken
3 TBSP chili powder + 2 tsp for later
1 can kidney beans (rinsed) add an extra can for larger groups
1 can white beans (rinsed) add an extra can for larger groups
2 cans diced (fire roasted) tomatoes
1 (15 oz) can chicken broth
1/4 cup instant tapioca
2 TBSP soy sauce
1 TBSP salt
1 tsp oregano
1 TBSP onion powder
2 TBSP garlic powder
1 TBSP cumin
1/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch of ground cloves
1 small sweet potatoe peeled and shredded

Put chicken in the crockpot.
Add 3 TBSP chili powder and all other ingredients.
Stir, cover, and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Just before serving stir in additional 2 tsp. chili powder

Serve with some chips, shredded cheese, sour cream and anything else you think sounds good. Enjoy!!!

Crockpot Meatloaf

I love meatloaf and I love this recipe, especially because it isn't greasy. I guess it's not for everyone but if you like meatloaf, try it out and see what you think.
First of all, the crockpot I like to use is kindof an oval shape (about 5 1/2 quart), I use this one so that the fat isn't surrounding the meat the whole time.

2 1/2 pounds of ground beef or turkey (or a mix of both)
1/4 cup ketchup, plus 2 TBSP for later
1/4 cup water
1 egg
1 cup bread crumbs
1 TBSP brown sugar
1 TBSP worchestershire sauce
1 small onion (diced)
Salt/Pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
Form into meatloaf shape.
Line crockpot with aluminum foil (for a much easier clean up).
Place meatloaf into crockpot, top with an additional 2 TBSP ketchup.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

We love to serve it with green beans, mashed potatoes, and some brown gravy.
Enjoy!!!
