3 Bean Chip Dip

A friend brought this to work one day and I was instantly hooked!

4 cans Pork and Beans
1 can kidney beans, drained
2 cans black beans, drained
1 package little smokies, cut into pieces
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 ketchup
1/4 cup mustard
1/8 - 1/4 cup brown sugar
----------
Fry onion, green pepper and smokies in a pan until the onion is tender. Put it all together in the crock pot. Add the brown sugar until it is as sweet as you want it. (We just did 1/8 cup.)

Heat up until warm. Serve with chips

Dutch Oven Southwestern Chicken

Dutch Oven Southwestern Chicken

2-1/2 cups chicken, cooked and chopped

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of celery soup

1 can diced tomatoes with onions

1 can diced green chilies

3/4 cup chopped onion

8-10 flour tortillas, cut into pieces

----------

Lightly oil or spray dutch oven. (We used a liner.) Combine chicken, 1 cup cheese, both soups, undrained tomatoes, green chilies and the onion in a large bowl.

Mix tortilla wedges into chicken mixture. (I thought 10 would be too many, so I only did eight.) Spoon mixture into prepared dutch oven.

Bake at 350° for 30 minutes, or until bubbling and hot. Top with remaining cheese and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving. Garnish with green onions, salsa and/or sour cream if desired.
