How to Make Chicken Ranch Nachos in a Crock Pot
Cris here.
We LOVE this recipe. We combined a yummy new recipe we found in ย Slow-Cooker Christmas Favoritesย with the new Fiesta Chicken and Beans recipe we are obsessed with from Mom Knows Best Cookbookย and added a secret ingredient.
The results were nothing short of magical! I get a kick out of seeing folks try this recipe for the first time. Flavorful tender pieces of chicken, black beans, white chili beans, mexi-corn and more served over a bed of super thin corn chips and drizzled with ranch and taco sauce = perfection. And side note… Taco sauce and ranch dressing together?!?! Oh. My. Yum. Who knew?!
Crock Pot Chicken Ranch Nachos would be fantastic game day grub for a crowd or a great weeknight dinner for the fam. Miss Add requests the leftovers in her lunch all the time. AND it is a great dump and go recipe- ready to crock in 5 minutes or less ๐ My favorite kind!
This is so delicious and soooo easy that I have about a billion ideas for variations! Stay tuned ๐

Have not tried it yet, but i will as soon as I can go to the grocery store, Sounds like my family. I am 78 years old, living with a 21 year old grand daughter and a 20 year old grandson. They are the children of my two daughters. The oldest daughter died in November of 2014. The granddaughter is hers. We manage well. Both help me as much as is possible. I am disabled, in a wheel chair and they don’t work so I am mostly in bed and they do most of the work in the kitchen. We get along well.
