    Tips for success

    • Rotel and off brand diced tomatoes with chilies come in several heat levels. Pick the heat level best suited for your family.
    • You can use previously cooked black beans instead of canned, if you want. But don't use dry black beans.
    • Fire roasted corn is even more amazing in this. Canned or Frozen is fine.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I have to use canned corn?

    No, frozen corn is fine also. Canned corn is 15 oz, and you will drain it. Substitute 2 cups frozen corn. TIP: Trader Joe's sells Fire Roasted frozen corn!

    What if I don't have a Crockpot?

    No problem! Just follow the instructions, but instead of using a Crockpot, use a 4-5 quart soup pot, dutch oven, etc. Once you bring everything to a boil, lower the heat and simmer on low for about 2 hours.

    You can even use an Instant Pot! Just program it for Soup or Stew!

    Do I have to use chicken breasts?

    No, you can use chicken thighs instead. You can also use Turkey.
