Ingredients & Substitutions

For this sandwich, you only need a handful of flavorful ingredients. Choosing good-quality bread and cheese will make a noticeable difference in the final result.

Sourdough Bread: Choose a good-quality sourdough loaf from your grocery store bakery. Regular sourdough works beautifully, while rosemary sourdough can add an extra layer of flavor.

Brie Cheese: Remove the white rind before adding the brie to your sandwich. The creamy center melts beautifully and creates a rich texture.

Bacon: Cook the bacon ahead of time if you want to make dinner even easier. Cooked bacon can be prepared up to five days in advance and stored properly in the refrigerator for several days.

How to Make Brie Grilled Cheese with Bacon

Making this sandwich is quick and straightforward. Layer the ingredients between buttered sourdough slices, then cook the sandwich slowly until the bread becomes crisp and golden while the cheeses melt.

Assemble the Sandwich: Spread butter evenly over one side of a sourdough slice. Place it butter-side down on a plate, then layer on the brie, cooked bacon, and cheddar cheese. Butter one side of the second bread slice and place it on top with the buttered side facing upward.

Cook: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Once the pan is warm, carefully place the sandwich inside. Cook until the bottom bread is crisp and golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the sandwich and continue cooking until the second side is equally golden and toasted.

Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

These Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos are an easy and flavorful choice for busy weeknights. Tender shredded chicken, zesty salsa, and taco seasoning come together with fresh toppings for a simple taco dinner everyone can enjoy.

Ingredients & Substitutions

The ingredients for these slow cooker tacos are simple, but choosing flavorful salsa and good taco seasoning makes a noticeable difference. You can also adjust the tortillas, toppings, and seasonings to suit your preferences.

Jar of Salsa: Use a salsa you genuinely enjoy because it provides much of the flavor for the chicken. A flavorful, high-quality salsa works especially well.

Taco Seasoning: A packet of prepared taco seasoning keeps things convenient, but homemade taco seasoning is also a great option.

Chicken Breast: Chicken breasts work well because they are lean and become tender as they cook with the salsa. The moisture from the salsa helps keep the chicken from becoming dry.

Cilantro: Cilantro is optional, but it adds a fresh, traditional flavor to the finished shredded chicken.

Tortillas: Choose flour, corn, or crunchy taco shells depending on the texture you prefer.

Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice adds brightness and balances the rich, savory flavors of the chicken.

How to Make Slow-Cooker Chicken Tacos

Making these tacos is straightforward because the slow cooker handles most of the work. Once the chicken is cooked and shredded, simply return it to the flavorful cooking mixture before assembling your tacos.

Mix: Add the salsa and taco seasoning to your slow cooker and stir them together. Place the chicken breasts into the seasoned salsa mixture.

Cook: Cover and cook the chicken on high for about 3 hours or on low for approximately 6 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Shred: Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it into the salsa. Add cilantro and lime juice for a fresh finishing touch.
