Ingredients

• 2 large pork sirloin steaks
• 8 medium potatoes
• 1 packet onion soup mix
• 1½ cups water
• 1 bouillon cube (chicken or beef)
• ½ onion, sliced thin
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced thin (optional)
• 1 tsp cornstarch

Instructions

1. Wash, peel, and dice potatoes into roughly equal cubes. Slice onion and mushrooms thin.
2. Place potatoes in a pot of heavily salted water (enough to cover) and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, then drain and mash.
3. Sear the pork steaks 2–3 minutes per side in the pressure cooker on sauté mode, including the edges if they’re thick. Pull out and set aside to rest.
4. Dissolve the bouillon cube in ½–1 cup hot water and pour into the pot to deglaze, scraping up the fond from the bottom.
5. Mix cornstarch with ½ cup cold water to make a slurry and stir into the liquid to form a gravy.
6. Add onions and mushrooms, then nestle the pork steaks back in. Sprinkle the onion soup mix over everything and stir to combine.
7. Seal and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes. With warmup and cooldown the total cook time is about 18 minutes.
8. Meat should be fork-shreddable when done. Shred or serve whole over mashed potatoes or alongside steamed broccoli.

Instructions

1. Gather all the ingredients including the chicken breasts, taco seasoning, cream of chicken soup, beans, Rotel tomatoes, Mexicorn, and chicken broth.
2. Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Add the taco seasoning, cream of chicken soup, rinsed and drained navy beans and black beans, undrained Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained Mexicorn, and chicken broth. Stir gently to combine the ingredients evenly.
3. Set the slow cooker to LOW and cook for 6 to 8 hours. You may cook it longer if necessary until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
4. Once the soup is cooked, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the slow cooker.
5. Stir the chopped chicken back into the soup and serve hot. Enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips or toppings.
6. Freezer Meal Option: For meal prepping, place all the ingredients into a ziplock freezer bag and freeze. When ready to cook, pour the contents into a slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours. Remove, chop the chicken, then stir it back into the soup before serving.

Notes

• This recipe is best prepared in a slow cooker to allow flavors to meld and chicken to become tender.
• Use unsalted cream of chicken soup and low-sodium broth if you want to control sodium content.
• Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or tortilla chips for added texture and flavor.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for longer storage.
• Adjust the spice level by choosing mild or hot Rotel tomatoes or adding extra chili powder if desired.
