I think we'll have breakfast for dinner. Sausage biscuits, hashbrowns and eggs.

I just ran home over my lunch (half) hour and threw together crock pot chicken with black beans and cream cheese. We have mint chocolate chip ice cream for dessert.

How do you make your chicken and black beans please?

We had chili dogs, corn and cooked carrots tonight and I just made brownies made with black beans. The recipes was in the paper so thought I would try it.

I've made those before - very moist. We liked them except they molded in like 3 days - put them in the fridge if you have any leftover!

It's really easy. Just take 4-6 frozen boneless chicken breasts and put them in the crockpot. Then throw in one 15 ounce can of black beans (drained and rinsed), one 15 ounce can of corn (drained), and one 15-16 ounce jar of salsa.

The recipe says to cook it on high for 4-6 hours, but my chicken breasts were small, so I cooked it on low for 6 hours and that was plenty of time.

About a half hour or so before serving, throw in 8 ounces of cream cheese so it will melt.

Some of the reviews suggested using thawed chicken breasts because you get a lot of juice using frozen ones.

When I got home from work, I just took the chicken breasts out, ladled out most of the juice, cut the cream cheese into smaller pieces and stirred it into the beans and corn, and then put the breasts back in and let it simmer for another hour or so.

I made extra breasts so today, I will shred those and mix them with the leftover corn/bean/sauce mixture and use it to make some enchilladas for the freezer. If there's enough of the filling left, I'll put it in a small casserole, top with cheddar cheese, and nuke it to use as a dip with tortilla chips.

Thanks, it sounds yummy. Have you ever used low fat or fat free cream chz?

Thanks for the tip! We though they were pretty good for healthy brownies

That's all I've ever used. It woould probably be better with the full-fat cream cheese, but it's good with the low-fat, as well.
