SOUTHWESTERN-STYLE SLOW COOKER CHICKEN GIZZARDS

Southwestern-Style Slow Cooker Chicken Gizzards image

Gizzards are inexpensive and very flavorful but can be tough. By cooking them low and slow they become really tender and the Southwestern spices are always a hit in my house. We eat these over rice or in a tortilla like a burrito. If my picky 12-year-old likes them and actually requests them on a regular basis, then I know it's a winner.

Ingredients

2 pounds chicken gizzards
1 tablespoon chili powder, or more to taste
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
2 dashes hot sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 small onion, diced
1 small bell pepper, diced
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®)
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream

Steps:

Trim and discard as much connective tissue from gizzards as possible. Place gizzards in a slow cooker and season with chili powder, cumin, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Add onion and bell pepper.
Mix condensed soup and diced tomatoes with chile peppers together in a bowl. Pour over the gizzards.
Cook on High until fork-tender, 3 to 4 hours. Stir in sour cream and cook for 15 to 20 more minutes.
