  • Crockpot chicken and noodles

    3 cans reduced fat cream of chicken soup
    2 lbs. boneless chicken breast trimmed (I normally chop each piece into 3 pieces)
    1/2 vidalia onion chopped
    2 tablespoons butter (Yes, I know it's evil, but I use it).

    Toss into crockpot.
    Add water to cover.

    Cook for 5-6 hours on high.
    After 5 hours, add veggies of your choice. I've used broccoli and carrots. At this point, I also add spices - smoked paprika and pepper are good, but experiment with your favorites.

    Cook up the noodles of your choice and add them in. It's also good without noodles.

    Before serving, shred chicken with fork. It will fall apart very easily. Stir like mad and enjoy.

    I make this every 2-3 weeks during the winter. Besides being amazingly easy and cheap, it's the perfect comfort food.

    Posted by Scrapping_jess in another crockpot post - and I'm the bestie- and it IS good. YUM!

    I made this about 2 1/2 weeks ago and it was a huge hit with my family & my Bestie's family! The finished product filled 2- 20oz jars. I've included the link for the recipe...she has great pictures to go with the recipe.

    Apple Butter (in the crock pot!)

    Ingredients:

    8-12 medium sized apples. Use any variety you have. I mixed it up.
    1 Tbs. Vanilla Extract
    1 Cup White Sugar
    1 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
    1/2 tsp. Cloves
    2 tsp. Cinnamon

    Directions:

    Peel your apples and dice them up. They don't have to be pretty.

    Throw the apples in your crock pot with the Tablespoon of Vanilla. You want your crock pot to be full of apples so peel as many as apples as you need for that. Turn your crock pot on low and cook for 6-8 hours. Check it every couple hours to give it a stir and see where it's at. Mine was done more around the 6 hour mark but I think my crock cooks things a bit quicker than others.

    Add your white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Give it a stir and cook another 5-6 hours. Mine was ready at about 5. Also stir it around every once and a while. Mine seemed to need it...yours might not!

    At this point your house will smell amazingly and your crock pot will look like this!

    When you spoon this into containers, please be careful. I don't want you to drop any of this hot stuff on your hand....because that might hurt a lot and make you want to scream and throw your hand around like a crazy lady. It didn't happen to me or anything but just be careful.

    Best split pea soup ever -- and it's easy easy easy!!!

    1 pound dried green split peas
    1 medium sweet onion diced finely
    3 celery stalks diced finely
    2 quarts chicken broth (I use chicken base, 1 TB per 1 quart of water)
    1 bay leaf
    Ham steaks (pre-cooked), cubed

    Add all ingredients except ham steak to crock pot. Cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 8 hours. Maybe 10 minutes before serving, add ham so it gets up to soup temperature. I get more compliments on this soup. And it couldn't be easier, it takes me about 10 minutes of prep time to cut the onion, celery, and cube the ham. Enjoy!

    {Easy but Delicious} Chicken Tacos

    4 large chicken breasts
    1 cup chicken stock
    1 can Rotel (or salsa)
    1 packet taco seasoning

    *Cook on high for 2 hours, low for 3. Shred chicken when tender.

    I skip the tortilla shell & opt for a bed of lettuce instead. Enjoy!

    Chicken and cornmeal dumplings!

    I made this yesterday and the whole family loved it. 370 calories for a big portion and lots of protein

    This recipe looks wonderful {so does the meal/calorie allotment}. Thank you!
