Cranberry Onion Chicken

I based this off a recipe I had at a friend's house... Cranberry Onion Chicken.  I swapped the french dressing for orange juice and made it in the crock pot.  After it cooled, I bagged up individual portions and froze them.  It holds well in the freezer because of the sauce.  I like it over a baked potato with veggies. 

This is a vague recipe-like idea :).

Mix a can of cranberry sauce (gel or whole berry) with 1 - 1.5 cup of orange juice.  Add an envelope of onion soup mix and combine well.  Place 5-6 chicken breasts in the crockpot and cover with the mixture.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours. 

Crockpot Refried Beans

3 cups of dry pinto beans (rinsed)
1 onion, diced
9 cups of water
5 t salt
1 3/4 t pepper
2 T minced garlic
1/8 t ground cumin

Put all the ingredients in a crockpot and cook on high for about 8 hours.
After they are done, drain all of the liquid out and SAVE THE LIQUID!!
Mash beans with a potato masher or whatever you mash with. Add liquid, a bit at a time, to desired consistency, but remember you want them a little runny because they thicken over time. (makes about 6 cups)
