We had Emmett's 1st Birthday party this weekend, which included a lot of family! I needed a recipe that fed a lot of people, was easy, and not too expensive! This is the recipe I found that met all of the criteria I was looking for and we LOVE it! We had a total of 25 people and this easily fed everyone (with many having seconds) and had enough leftovers for 4-5 more servings. Hope you all enjoy!
Mexican Chicken Haystacks
4 pounds cooked, shredded chicken ( I put mine in the crock pot for 6 hours on low and then shred it and add to the sauce mixture)
1 Large Onion, chopped
3-4 tablespoons minced garlic
3 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
2 (7 ounce) cans diced chilies
2 (15.5 ounce) cans pinto beans
1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans
1 1/2 tablespoon oregano flakes
1 tablespoon cumin
Mix together all ingredients and put in crockpot on low for 2-3 hours.
Serve with:
Rice
corn chips
chopped tomatoes
grated cheese
guacamole
sliced olives
shredded lettuce
sour cream
salsa
The way we eat this is rice first, then tomato mixture, topped with everything else!
Hi Austin thanks for the great recipes. Don't know how to add mine but I will learn.
