Slow Cooker Sausage and Potatoes

 I never think to take a photo, sigh.

This came from Tiktok and is so easy to put together, versatile, and delicious.

Ingredients:

• One (what used to be a pound) of cooked sausage (smoked, turkey, andouille)
• One package of baby potatoes, or cut up larger potatoes
• Vegetable of your choice. I used frozen green beans. My son thought they were too mushy, so next time I will try fresh. Other possibilities include chopped cabbage, carrots, or another firm vegetable.
• Seasoning of your choice. I used Kinders meat and vegetable seasoning. Lots of it.
• Half stick of butter, cut up.

Throw it all in the crock pot and cook on low for about 6 hours (I checked it with half an hour left and it was ready).

Stir and serve.

Chicken Enchiladas

• 24 oz cooked, shredded chicken
• small can green chilies
• 2 oz chicken broth
• 8 tortillas
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup mayo (I used lite)
• 1/2 cup salsa verde
• 1 T ranch powder
• 1 T taco seasoning
• 4-8 ounces shredded cheese

Mix chicken, chilies, and broth

roll chicken mixture in tortillas

place in a baking dish sprayed with oil

mix sour cream, mayo, salsa, ranch, and taco seasoning

pour over enchiladas

sprinkle with cheese

bake at 400 for about 30 minutes
