Crock-Pot Chicken and Black Beans

This recipe was originally sent to us by our friend Penny W. who has a blog over at Slightly Squirrelly. This a nice basic recipe that makes a great filling for soft tacos or burritos or a topping over chips for some amazing nachos.

If your enjoy a little spice to your meals you can adjust the ingredients to add a little heat. Depending on how spicy you like your food you can add some fresh or canned diced jalapeño peppers or just add some ground chili powder for a little extra heat.

But, since I was making this for my family and my kid does not like spicy food I just keep the seasoning mild with some taco seasoning. Store bought taco seasoning is OK, but if you have the time to make your own homemade taco seasoning that is going to work fantastic in this recipe as it is low sodium and just overall healthier for you.

This recipe is easily adapted to a slow cooker freezer meal as well. Just dump all the ingredients into a freezer bag, label and toss in the freezer. To cook just thaw overnight in the refrigerator and follow the cooking instructions in the recipe. Easy!

Recipe Notes

To make clean up easier you may wish to either line your slow cooker with a slow cooker liner or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Freezer Meal Instructions:

1. Place all ingredients into a 1 gallon size zippered freezer bag OR FoodSaver bag.
2. Place bag on flat surface and seal bag closed while pressing out as much excess air as possible OR use your FoodSaver sealing system to vacuum seal the bag closed.
3. Label bag with date prepared, name of recipe, ingredients and cooking instructions.
4. Lay bag flat in freezer and allow to freeze for several hours. At that point you can stand the bags upright in your freezer if desired.

To Cook Freezer Meal:

• Remove freezer meal bag from freezer and place either in refrigerator overnight OR in a clean kitchen sink filled with cool water for several hours just until the freezer meal is partially thawed enough to dump the contents of the bag into the slow cooker.
• Cook according to the recipe directions adding 1 additional hour cooking time (in this case 7 - 9 hours on LOW or 5 hours on HIGH from the partially thawed state).
