PRINTABLE RECIPE AND NUTRITIONAL INFO:
RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. bacon (divided after being cooked)
1 lb. ground chicken
1 oz. ranch seasoning packet
3 jalapenos diced, seeds and all (except the stem)
1 cup sweet yellow onion (a small onion)
15 oz. fire-roasted tomatoes
15 oz. tomato sauce
15 oz. cannellini beans drained and rinsed
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
8 oz. cream cheese cubed (use Philidelphia brand for best results)
For serving (optional)
cooked bacon (from above)
sliced jalapenos
tortilla chips or cornbread
cilantro
shredded cheese
SLOW COOKER SIZE:
4-quart or larger
INSTRUCTIONS:
Slice the bacon into inch sized pieces. Cook on the stove top. Drain the bacon on paper towels. Set aside.
Wipe out your pan if needed and add the ground chicken. Cook until browned then add the ranch seasoning mix and stir.
Add the ranch flavored chicken, HALF of the bacon (saving the other half in the fridge for serving later), the jalapenos, onion, diced tomatoes, beans, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin powder, and cubed cream cheese to the slow cooker.
Stir.
Cook for 4 hours on high or 6-7 on low. This may seem like a lot of cooking time, but it really takes this long to get the onions tender and all the flavors to meld.
Stir, serve and enjoy. Top each bowl with the reserved bacon, jalapenos and cilantro if desired.
