Verde Chicken Tacos

This is probably one of the best recipes I have ever made and a new family favorite. It was extremely filling, healthy, and delicious. Guy Fieri has a new salsa line out that I have been dying to work with. Yesterday while I was at the grocery store I came across his "Verde Salsa" and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it! Chicken Taco's. But not your ordinary Chicken Taco's, after I cooked the chicken I poured the entire bottle of salsa into the shredded chicken and let it slowly simmer and allow the chicken to soak up the juice from the salsa. Every bit got a little bit better!

Any other "Taco" toppings you would like. We used tomatoes and avocado

Sloppy Roll

I love a good gooey sloppy joe! But last night it turned into a little bit of a project when I realized I had no buns! :-( But I did have crescent rolls! 

Printable Recipe

Ingredients  

1 Can of crescent rolls

1 lb of meat

Shredded cheese (whatever kind you want)

1 can of Manwhich

Directions

In a large stovetop pan, brown your meat. Once meat is browned add your manwich mixture. Add your cheese to your meat mixture so that it melts. I used about 1 big handful of cheese.

On a cookie sheet add your crescent rolls. Your can comes with 8 rolls, but you want to use 2 together. (Picture below) make sure you pinch the seams of your dough together. 

Place your gooey mixture on the dough. Leave enough room so that you can fold it. together. (See Below)

Cook in the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes.

When ready to serve add more cheese to the top! 

BBQ Pulled Pork

My husband loves pulled pork.  But there is really no place around our house that does a great pulled pork. So instead of going out to dinner and being disappointed, I decided to make up my own! So much cheaper than going out and waaaay better!

Printable Recipe

Ingredients
3 lbs of pork shoulder
1 can of your favorite soda
1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
Pack of buns.
Dry rub.




Dry Rub Ingredients
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp cayenne pepper (I like it spicy)
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp ground pepper
1 tbsp paprika
1/2 cup brown sugar




Directions
Mix all dry rub ingredients together in a bowl.
Take your Pork shoulder and coat all sides with your dry rub. Use it ALL, massage it into the meat. 
Place in a slow cooker, pour your can of soda over the top of your pork.
Cook on high for approx 5-6 hours or until your meat starts to shred. 
Mine cooked for approx 5 hours, then I took it out of the crockpot, took all the meat off the bone and put it back in the crockpot. I then added all my BBQ sauce. Mixed it together and let it cook for another hour so that all the flavors came together.
