Classic Goulash
A great childhood memory comfort food... I tweek this to our liking by using 2 cups beef broth and one cup water; also I agree with so many other reviewers that chopped bell pepper is a must. In Boston, we called it American Chopped Suey. In Florida, it's known as Goulash and in Ohio, they call it Marzetti. Whatever name you use doesn't much matter... it's easy, affordable and tasty!

Jerre's Black Bean and Pork Tenderloin Slow Cooker Chili
We LOVED this recipe! Never would've thought to use a pork roast for chili, but let me tell you, it worked out wonderfully. I didn't find any need to slice up the pork into strips; just put the roast in the crockpot whole and then you can easily shred the meat with a couple of forks before serving. Also, there's no need to use pork tenderloin. A less expensive cut of pork works well as the slow cooker will make it super tender. This is now known as "Piggy Chili" in our house; thanks for the post!

Jalapeno Chicken II
Not your everyday chicken breast... this one stands WAY out amongst the crowd. The flavor of the bacon with the chicken, jalapeno & cheese blends together AMAZINGLY! I double wrapped each chicken breast with 2 strips of bacon; one length wise and another across the middle, in an attempt to keep the cream cheese from melting out. It worked out somewhat, but I will fool with it next time to get a more cheesy taste. Maybe sprinkle some shredded pepper jack cheese on top for 5 minutes before they're done??? DEFINITELY pre-cook your bacon a little if you want it cooked all the way through. Hubby and I both really liked this... I can't wait to make it again!
