Oh this looks good!!!!
Do you drain the can of beans or dump the whole contents of the can?
I dumped everything. Thanks!
You don’t need to drain the beans
I drain and rise to lower the sodium, that liquid is packed with sodium.
use can chicken and make dinner from the pantry. Nothing perishable!!
I do that for potlucks at the office – bring crockpot, can opener and assemble and heat there.
Thank you lina for all you do I appreciate all of the yummy recipes. I just cant explain in words how much I appreciate the hip2save team THANK YOU And I hope you all have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
So sweet! Merry Christmas Natoli.
I love how versatile this recipe is. So much you can try with it!
Add 1/4 lb velveeta!
Yummy this looks so good! Especially in this cold weather.
OMG! I have been making this for years! I even had it published in a cookbook. I make cornbread to eat with it or sprinkle crushed Dorito chips on top.
We do this at my office. Everyone brings ab item and we dump into the crockpot. So yummy.
So smart!
Make your own ranch dressing mix! 3 T = 1 packet

Thanks! That stuff can get a bit pricey 🙂
Family favorite for Christmas day. I’ve also made it with a deli chicken, shredded. Yummy.
Perfect, sounds good!
I’ve made this for years! it’s a weight watchers friendly recipe as well! one of our favorites!
Oh my, I want this tonite! Both my younger kids are home with the flu. Can’t wait to try this. Thanks, Lina. And I think I will make some cornbread like a previous post suggested. Yum!
Target has hidden valley ranch packets 3 for $4 AND ranch 4-pack boxes 3 for $4 also! I thought misread but the 4 packs rang up $1.33. That’s 34 cents a packet!!!
I was just going to post the same thing! What a steal. I bought 3 boxes and thinking about going back for more! Can never have too know much dip mix, I use it for quite a few recipes.
This has been one of our family’s favorites for years! (Even my grandad, who is 90+ yrs. old makes it in the crockpot!) Delicious! 🍲 👍 Thanks, Lina, for all the delicious recipes you post for us 🙂
We have a taco soup recipe we LOVE, but I can’t wait to try this one!
Is It Spicy?
No really. Not if you you use mild green chilis and mild taco seasoning. You can make it spicy though.
