Cream Cheese Chicken Chili Freezer Meal Recipe

Cream Cheese Chicken Chili Freezer Meal

Ingredients:
1 can black beans
1 can corn, undrained
1 can Rotel, undrained
1 package ranch dressing mix
1 tsp cumin
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp onion powder
8 oz light cream cheese
2 chicken breasts

Directions:
Drain and rinse black beans. Place chicken at bottom of crock pot, then pour out whole can of corn, Rotel, and black beans. Top with seasonings and ranch mix. Stir together. Place cream cheese on top. Cover with lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Stir cream cheese into chili. Use 2 forks to shred chicken. Stir together and serve.

Freezer Meal Directions:
Place all ingredients except cream cheese in a freezer-safe baggie. Mix together. Include 8 oz package of light cream cheese (have them place cream cheese in refrigerator - it can be frozen but it changes texture a little bit; it lasts quite a while in fridge).

Freezer Meal Label:
Thaw. Place into a 6-quart crock pot. Place cream cheese on top. Cover with lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Stir cream cheese into chili. Use 2 forks to shred chicken. Stir together and serve.

***I've made this recipe, and I would suggest adding only 1/2 the amount of cream cheese. Also, it tastes great garnished with fresh tortilla chips.***
