Both of your recipes look very good. I was amazed at how you stretched the one chicken breast to enough soup for 4-6 people!!😱. But my biggest takeaway is learning how to make the “cream of..” soup!👏👏 I try to use gluten free products and the gluten free cream of soups around here cost a whopping $3.29, which is highway robbery! Now I can make my own with gluten free flour and not be a slave to that overpriced nonsense! Thank you, Emmy!
My daughter cannot eat gluten and I thicken all of our soups, sauces, her Mac and cheese with cornstarch, works great and you don't have to worry about the gf flour taste that can be there with some gf flours. Just add the cornstarch to the milk before adding to the melted butter, you will create that cream of soup base. 😀
I make my own Cream of Something, too, using the recipe in the More-with-Less cookbook. The author wonders if an entire generation will live and die unable to make a white sauce, dependent on cans of Cream of Something soup 😊 I will saute a little veg in it sometimes. When I have lots of chives that is a very nice addition.
I have a couple of crockpot Mac and cheese recipes that are family favorites. I’m not embarrassed to say I have more than one crockpot. A favorite meal is the crockpot Mac and cheese with some crockpot pulled pork. Yuuuuummmmmyyyy!
Emmy, you are amazing !!!! I thank God for leading me to your channel ! I’ve been watching you for awhile now but I rarely comment . Just wanted you to know you & Paul are loved and appreciated ! Your smile & friendliness is a breath of fresh air in these times we are living in ! I love how you stretched the chicken breast ! Adding noodles & veggies and the homemade cream soup is just an amazing idea to stretch dollars !! I’ve never been sure of when to add the veggies or pasta in the crockpot with the meat . You answered so many questions for me ! Also …. I was just thinking of how expensive cream soups are & now I know how to make my own ! God bless you and Paul !!! Sending y’all a big hug from Tennessee !!!! ❤🌸🌺
I have always said I didn’t care for baked ziti because every time I had it (church suppers, usually), they were very dry. This doesn’t look at all dry! I’m sure I’ll try this.
For more protein and no overcooking of the pasta in the ziti, look for Barilla Protein Plus pasta (in the yellow box). You can cook Barilla till the cows come home, and it will not overcook.
I don’t know if you remember me. I am the one who encouraged you to lihgt up our corner of the world and put up your tree early. I just tried the creamy chicken and noodles. It was fantastic! I have contacted my daughter and friends and raved about it. Another hit for Emmy! I always want to try so many of your frugal recipes. I hope this freezes well. I am alone and can only eat so much. Keep up the good work. You are teaching this old woman a lot of new tricks. Apparently I am smarter than an old dog lol
I’m with you, about being older and living alone. Have you considered getting a smaller crockpot and only doing half the recipe? There are channels for singles on YT that can help with what size cooker to buy, etc.
Funny you should ask for our “go to” crockpot recipe! Mine is currently in the crockpot for dinner. Refried beans! It’s super inexpensive to make and no fat! Mix together in the crockpot: 3 cups rinsed dry pinto beans 2 T. onion flakes 1 seeded and chopped jalapeño (I keep the garden harvest in the freezer so I always have some on hand) 2-3 cloves minsed garlic 1 t. salt 1/2 t. pepper 1/2-1 t. cumin 8 cups water Cook on high for 8 hours. Drain excess liquid (save it) and mash. I usually use my hand blender. Add back drained liquid a little at a time to get to the consistency you like. We use the beans for burritos, tostados, side dish, etc. Hope you enjoy!
Genius. We enjoy refried beans and I never thought to do homemade. I make hummus in a similar fashion so I’m not sure why I didn’t make the leap over to refried beans.
Oh, what a can of worms you opened, Emmy! My favorite crock pot meal is "refrigerator stew." We all have this in our repertoire. At the end of the month, or the day before pay-day, open the fridge and get out every left-overs container. The whole point of refrigerator stew is to clean out the refrigerator. I take everything that isn't moldy or disgusting, put it in the crock pot, but I stay away from overwhelming flavors like a chili or barbecue, but they go on the side. I throw in all the tired looking veggies and add a stock, season to taste and add rice, pasta or dumplings. Never the same twice, but never any complaints either. We do a whole lot of stuff in the crock pot. It's my second favorite tool in the kitchen after the coffee pot.
I don't own a crockpot but I'm thinking I should invest in one. Wanted to share my score at Walmart today-- 28 oz. cans of Hunts diced tomatoes, no salt, were 50 cents a can! Sign said they were being discontinued. Expiration date is next year. I bought 4!
We love Mississippi pot roast. We usually eat it as roast the first nite and then I use the leftovers for French dips the next nite. Roasts are so expensive so I watch for a sale and stock up.
Those both look amazing!! I like to make a "dump and go" chili in the crockpot in cooler months. The longer it simmers on low - the better it tastes - and it's perfect to come home to at the end of the work day! Have fun at the little house!!
The creamy chicken and noodles would be really good over biscuits! I will definitely have to try this. The ziti looks amazing! I make a crockpot pizza that my kids and grandkids love. I also do an eight can soup that makes a bunch and the leftovers freeze well.
Thank you Emmy for the "Cream of soup recipe". I go thru it in streaks as I love the flavor it has. I have been watching the price go up. I have also made Alfredo sauce from scratch which also started with a rue sauce. (Flour & butter in a pan. It was a hit! 💗🤗💗
I don't own a slow cooker, and I rarely eat dinner, if I do it's homemade soup and a half sandwich, and fresh fruit for dessert. When you get older appetites dwindle. Have a great week!
i re-watched this video because I want to make my own cream of chicken soup and the crockpot chicken recipe. I made the bread that you made in a more recent video. It turned out so good. It freezes well and it makes great toast too. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes and cooking tips. xoxo, Karen
Chuck roast, potatoes carrots and a packet of onion soup mix is my easy go to recipe for the crock pot. We then make vegetable beef soup with the leftovers.
Winner winner crockpot chicken dinner! Baked ziti too! Yum! I made beef stew in my slow cooker last night. Used about 1lb of london broil (Thanks for the suggestion!) 1 cup beef broth & 1 cup red wine with chopped celery, onions, carrots, mushrooms and a can of stewed tomatoes. Cooked on high 4 hours. Delicious!
A go to meal for the crock pot is potato soup. Don't know exact measurements but you cook frozen hashbrowns and onions in broth, add cream cheese, stir and serve with bacon, sour cream, cheese and green onions if desired. Also, something called crack chicken. It's a few chicken breasts, a bit of broth to keep ot from drying out, and then after you shred it, and drain off the broth (but reserve it), add a packet of ranch dressing mix and a block of cream cheese. Often I do variations and don't do the ranch and do pesto or salsa instead. If the chicken is too thick, then you add broth back.
Love your channel! I can relate to all your sage advice on frugal living. I enjoy crockpot recipes and love to cook pork shoulder for pulled pork in the crockpot. I add 1 beer and 1 sliced onions ..season 2 taste.and cook low and slow for 8 hours..shred meat and add your favorite bbq sauce. enjoy!
I love all your recipes! They are so delicious and real food that people want to eat. The Italian influence is awesome and techniques/flavors I haven't cooked with before.
@@FrugalMoneySaver In my area they don't sell pork neck bones. Can I use the bones from pork loin chops to flavor your Italian meatball sauce? The one that has hot and sweet sausage in it. Also can you cook in a crock pot on low all day? I'm lazy to use the stove. 🤣
My crock pot tip isn't really a recipe but helps me so much! I stew my chicken in the crockpot then freeze the shredded chicken in one cup baggies! When I'm ready to make a meal I pull out the cooked chicken and defrost in the refrigerator or microwave and my meal is almost ready. I purchase the chicken on sale and cook right away in the crockpot to save room in my freezer and it's a tremendous help to get dinner on the table in no time.
I do the same thing! I find that I will use the chicken faster this way since I cooked it already. I sometimes thaw enough to use for my lunches during the week as well.
I’ve been making this since the early ‘80s. A friend from Hawaii shared it. “12345 Ribs” Ingredients: 1.5lbs boneless country style pork ribs (currently $3.69/lb at Hannaford) 1Tbs dry sherry 2Tbs soy sauce (or coconut aminos) 3Tbs white vinegar (or rice or apple or whatever you have) 4Tbs sugar (or 6 pkts Sweet n Lo) 5Tbs water. (I always double the sauce because it’s so good!) Direction: Put ribs in crockpot. Combine all ingredients except pork ribs in bowl for sauce. Pour sauce over ribs. Either cook on low about 6-8 hrs, high about 3-4 hrs, or in Dutch oven, covered, in 350 degree oven for 1.5-2hrs. For thicker sauce, if desired, make cornstarch/water slurry and add at last minute. Serve over rice, with (frozen) Asian style veggies.
I'm for sure going to try the baked ziti that looks really good very cheesy quick and in the Crock-Pot out of the way. those are the kinds of recipes that I could use right now! thank you Emmy
both look fantastic. Emmy,if you have bread ends leftover,dry them in the oven or air fryer,and make stuffing from scratch,instead of premade,heavily salted
I need to try that creamy chicken! My favorite crock pot recipe is tacos. I throw in lean ground meat, onions, beans, corn, cauliflower rice, some salsa, and taco seasoning. It cooks for a few hours and makes a ton of food!
Hi 👋 Just wanted to mention that I tried your suggestion of using London broil in the crockpot and it was excellent. Thanks for sharing that idea. I had never considered using that cut of meat like that before but will certainly do it again in the future. 😎
The creamy chicken and noodles looks incredible. Since I have a chicken breast in the fridge that needs to be used, it will be on the menu soon. 😊 My favorite crockpot recipe is Creamy Chicken Chili from The Chunky Chef website. I usually cut it in half since it’s just the two of us.
I make chicken and noodles in the crockpot at least every other week. I saw the comment from the diabetic. You can make both recipes diabetic friendly by using whole wheat noodles instead of regular noodles, you just need to adjust the cooking time to cook a bit longer as the more fiber in the noodles makes them thicker. That works as long as you aren't gluten free. Otherwise substitute with some chickpea or spinach pasta. By the way Emmy, I took your advice about shopping all the pretty flowered tops at thrift stores and have found two very nice ones in two weeks and only paid $4 total. I've challenged myself to five no spend days a week and so far have managed to hit that four weeks in a row now. I'm learning so much from your channel, keep up the great work!
I've been looking for more crockpot meals for the winter months here in North Carolina. The chicken & noodles looks so good. I will have to try it out this coming winter. My "go to" crockpot recipe is chili, but I also cook spaghetti and beef roast in the crockpot. So yummy!
I like making soup as a way to use up vegetables. Like I will throw in whatever I have and add a can of tomato paste, some chicken broth, herbs and spices to taste, and some lentils and then it’s a hearty filling meal.
Great recipes. I make the chicken and noodles occasionally. What a great idea to make my own cream of chicken soup, and the vegetables added nutrition and presentation. What a cook you are, Emmie.
I know how much you and Paul love beans!!! lol but i always cook my pinto beans in the crockpot. simple stupid! and always turn out perfect not matter what.
Although the mixed vegetables looked good, I think I would have added just some frozen peas and mushrooms. Also, I think I would have used a little poultry seasoning on the chicken breast.
Thankyou for thé cream of soup recipe. I’m not from the US and it’s often frustrating to have recipes from there that ask for cans of this and cans of that. So thanks for this
I currently have chicken stew in the crock pot, just need to add some English dumplings in a little while. Yummy food for my belly and the freezer lol x
I love your recipes, Emmy, and I can't wait to try your recipe for Cream Soup. Even the off brands of Cream soups are getting more expensive, so making my own should be a great way to save money. I have to admit, it's hard watching your cooking episodes late at night when I am almost ready for bed- I get so hungry watching you make your recipes that I want to go into the kitchen and plunder the fridge. You're wearing my will power down! My easiest, yet yummy go to Crockpot recipe is Italian Chicken. I lightly brown a few boneless, skinless chicken breasts and throw them into the Crockpot with about a third of a bottle of low fat Italian dressing, (purchased cheap at Aldi's or the Dollar Store) and some black pepper. I set the Crockpot to cook five to six hours on the low setting, and the chicken breasts come out wonderfully flavorful and tender. It's smells terrific when cooking as well. I serve with green beans and garlic bread. This recipe is a family favorite and a great time saver on busy days.
First off I want to mention how pretty you looked in that blouse and necklace. And thank you for the creamed soup recipe. I have hypertension and I try and avoid canned soups wherever possible. Can't wait to try these recipes 😋 They both look so good!
Hi Emmy and Paul. Hope you both have a great vacation with your son. Good times! Will be making that chicken and noodle dish soon. That looks so good. Thanks for showing us how to make a cream soup ... that is a big money saver. I actually make many meals in the crockpot. Either some chicken or turkey ham steak with lots of potatoes, carrots, celery, seasonings and water or broth. Just simple meals ... light on meat with many, many veggies. Enjoy your vacation.
Your meals looked great!! I make one potmeals of filling lentil or white bean soup with dried herbs ( rosemary, thym, sage parsley) Could ad🥫 a can of tomatoes a carrot 🥕or pepper🫑onions 🧅zucchini🍆broccoli🥦.leeks work fine too! Sometimes I ad a couple bacon rasher cut up in thin slices for a deep smoky taste.
You are such a sweet soul Emmy! Thank you for for the receipe for condensed soup! My only go to crock pit meal would be green beans/smoked sausage/potatoes, onion and spices. So thankful I found you channel, your videos are so uplifting🧡
Chuck roast and potatoes is my go to crockpot meal for years. Fall apart tender. I am definitely trying these recipes- looks delicious as always. Thank you again for a great video!! 👍
The simplest crockpot recipe I've ever come across is to add chicken breast and a jar of salsa. Seriously, I had to try it because it was so easy. I couldn't believe anything that simple would taste so good. I cook it in the crock pot on low for 8 hours it high for 3-4 hours. We put it over cooked rice but it would go well over noodles or even in tacos if you thicken the sauce with a corn starch slurry. Love your recipes in this video. Yum!
Wow, they both look delicious. Definitely a keeper. Macaroni and cheese in the crackpot is probably my go to recipe. Chili is also an easy recipe to make in the Fall months. I did make rice pudding a few times and it was a big hit. I hope you are enjoying your time in NC. Perfect time to be at the beach.
Yummy recipes! Can’t wait to try them! Excellent for potlucks too! The creamy chicken and noodles served over a biscuit, who needs to make pot pies?!? Love the cream soup recipe. My favorite crockpot recipe is soups! Any type. I’ve been cooking so long, no recipe, just start throwing things in, yum! Emmy, how do you access all your recipes on this site again? I’ve forgotten. You have so many great recipes! Thank you in advance for your help ❤️ How was your beach visit? Looked wonderful
I'm trying the ziti recipe very soon! I like to make a pork shoulder butt roast with a cup of root beer and add my favorite BBQ sauce at the end. Makes great pulled pork sliders or is great over noodles or rice.
Hi Emmy and Paul great video! Learnt wonderful punctual tasty crockpot dishes but there is a suggestion I would like to give that is to make white sauce I don't make it in butter instead when I boil pasta it loses its starch and we can add milk powder in it the right now so it gives that white sauce consistency and the taste to it that does the job later cheese can be added so no need to add those extra calories of butter. If this can help.
Both of your recipes look very good. I was amazed at how you stretched the one chicken breast to enough soup for 4-6 people!!😱. But my biggest takeaway is learning how to make the “cream of..” soup!👏👏 I try to use gluten free products and the gluten free cream of soups around here cost a whopping $3.29, which is highway robbery! Now I can make my own with gluten free flour and not be a slave to that overpriced nonsense! Thank you, Emmy!

Just add the cornstarch to the milk before adding to the melted butter, you will create that cream of soup base. 😀
you can also use mashed beans to thicken
Yay! So glad the video was helpful B Hallmark!!

In the colder winter months, I love to make Home-made chili in the crockpot. I make it the way my mom always did.
Sounds wonderful!
Funny you should ask for our “go to” crockpot recipe! Mine is currently in the crockpot for dinner. Refried beans! It’s super inexpensive to make and no fat!
Mix together in the crockpot:
3 cups rinsed dry pinto beans
2 T. onion flakes
1 seeded and chopped jalapeño (I keep the garden harvest in the freezer so I always have some on hand)
2-3 cloves minsed garlic
1 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1/2-1 t. cumin
8 cups water
Cook on high for 8 hours. Drain excess liquid (save it) and mash. I usually use my hand blender. Add back drained liquid a little at a time to get to the consistency you like.

Oh, what a can of worms you opened, Emmy! My favorite crock pot meal is "refrigerator stew." We all have this in our repertoire. At the end of the month, or the day before pay-day, open the fridge and get out every left-overs container. The whole point of refrigerator stew is to clean out the refrigerator.

We do a whole lot of stuff in the crock pot. It's my second favorite tool in the kitchen after the coffee pot.
I bet it comes out delicious each time! Thank you for sharing that idea!
I don't own a crockpot but I'm thinking I should invest in one. Wanted to share my score at Walmart today-- 28 oz. cans of Hunts diced tomatoes, no salt, were 50 cents a can! Sign said they were being discontinued. Expiration date is next year. I bought 4!
Wonderful! That is such a great deal
Thanks for the recipe for the cream of soup. I love your positivity and frugal tips!
Thank you so much Susan
We love Mississippi pot roast. We usually eat it as roast the first nite and then I use the leftovers for French dips the next nite. Roasts are so expensive so I watch for a sale and stock up.
So smart to do that Diane
The chicken and noodles ,reminds me of Chicken Ala King
Yes! Easy and delicious!
Happy you recorded before your road trip. Enjoy your little house 😊

I make a crockpot pizza that my kids and grandkids love. I also do an eight can soup that makes a bunch and the leftovers freeze well.

I’ve been making this since the early ‘80s. A friend from Hawaii shared it.
“12345 Ribs”
Ingredients:
1.5lbs boneless country style pork ribs (currently $3.69/lb at Hannaford)
1Tbs dry sherry
2Tbs soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
3Tbs white vinegar (or rice or apple or whatever you have)
4Tbs sugar (or 6 pkts Sweet n Lo)
5Tbs water.
(I always double the sauce because it’s so good!)
Direction:
Put ribs in crockpot.
Combine all ingredients except pork ribs in bowl for sauce.
Pour sauce over ribs.
Either cook on low about 6-8 hrs, high about 3-4 hrs, or in Dutch oven, covered, in 350 degree oven for 1.5-2hrs. For thicker sauce, if desired, make cornstarch/water slurry and add at last minute.
Serve over rice, with (frozen) Asian style veggies.
Thanks so much for sharing!
I have mentioned before, we like to make Chex mix in the crock pot. A real energy saver when we make it in the summertime.
So fun and delicious!

By the way Emmy, I took your advice about shopping all the pretty flowered tops at thrift stores and have found two very nice ones in two weeks and only paid $4 total. I've challenged myself to five no spend days a week and so far have managed to hit that four weeks in a row now. I'm learning so much from your channel, keep up the great work!
Yay Vicki! So happy you found some pretty flower tops! One of my weaknesses lol
I've been looking for more crockpot meals for the winter months here in North Carolina. The chicken & noodles looks so good. I will have to try it out this coming winter.
My "go to" crockpot recipe is chili, but I also cook spaghetti and beef roast in the crockpot. So yummy!
I have a whole playlist of "One Pot Meals' On our TH-cam home page.
I like making soup as a way to use up vegetables. Like I will throw in whatever I have and add a can of tomato paste, some chicken broth, herbs and spices to taste, and some lentils and then it’s a hearty filling meal.
So creative and resourceful
Great recipes. I make the chicken and noodles occasionally. What a great idea to make my own cream of chicken soup, and the vegetables added nutrition and presentation. What a cook you are, Emmie.
Shirley so kind of you to say! Thank you
I am American, living in the UK. I miss egg noodles.
They are so good!
Yummy. This will help me with Kate Kaden's croctober challenge. Thank you!
Not sure what that is but glad it’s helpful lol
She has a TH-cam channel and is doing a challenge this month on crockpot cooking.
My favorite is pork chops and sauerkraut.
My in-laws love that!
Yum on both. Thank you. Blessings ❤
Thanks Pamela!
Thanks for the recipes.I like to make cowboy beans in my crockpot.Filling and tasty.Will try yours this weekend.
Thanks so much for watching Rebecca
Both look great!
Thanks Robin!
I would serve it over biscuits. Yum
YES!
I am always making soups in the crock pot, using what I have on hand! Thank you for these great suggestions!
So smart Connie! Thanks for watching!
Both recipes look delicious. My boyfriend would really enjoy them and so easy to make.
They really are easy and delicious!
Great Idea with Just 1 Chicken breast👍
Both Recipes are great
Thank you so much Marianne.
Both look FABULOUS !!!
Thank you Kim
Can’t wait to try both of these recipes. They look delicious as well as economical. Thank you!
Thank you so very much Ellen
I know how much you and Paul love beans!!! lol but i always cook my pinto beans in the crockpot. simple stupid! and always turn out perfect not matter what.
Me too! It's my favorite way of cooking them. They turn out amazing 😍
We are actually trying to get a little better with beans lol
My favorite is the old traditional roast with carrots, onions and potatoes. Always make plenty, and then have beef stew as a leftover!
So delicious!
I make the baked ziti today and it was delicious! We all loved it! Thank you! I enjoy your videos!
YAY! So happy Judy!
Although the mixed vegetables looked good, I think I would have added just some frozen peas and mushrooms. Also, I think I would have used a little poultry seasoning on the chicken breast.
You do what works for you!
I do not have a crockpot, but I will do the same in a «normal» pot.
Thanks for sharing!
Thankyou for thé cream of soup recipe. I’m not from the US and it’s often frustrating to have recipes from there that ask for cans of this and cans of that. So thanks for this
You are so welcome Pamela! Glad it was helpful!
I currently have chicken stew in the crock pot, just need to add some English dumplings in a little while. Yummy food for my belly and the freezer lol x
Love that!
I love your recipes, Emmy, and I can't wait to try your recipe for Cream Soup. Even the off brands of Cream soups are getting more expensive, so making my own should be a great way to save money. I have to admit, it's hard watching your cooking episodes late at night when I am almost ready for bed- I get so hungry watching you make your recipes that I want to go into the kitchen and plunder the fridge. You're wearing my will power down!
My easiest, yet yummy go to Crockpot recipe is Italian Chicken. I lightly brown a few boneless, skinless chicken breasts and throw them into the Crockpot with about a third of a bottle of low fat Italian dressing, (purchased cheap at Aldi's or the Dollar Store) and some black pepper. I set the Crockpot to cook five to six hours on the low setting, and the chicken breasts come out wonderfully flavorful and tender. It's smells terrific when cooking as well. I serve with green beans and garlic bread. This recipe is a family favorite and a great time saver on busy days.
That sounds like a great recipe! Thank you for sharing!
Will make the ziti for sure! Thanks for sharing!😊
Thanks for watching!
First off I want to mention how pretty you looked in that blouse and necklace. And thank you for the creamed soup recipe. I have hypertension and I try and avoid canned soups wherever possible. Can't wait to try these recipes 😋 They both look so good!
You are so kind Laurie! So glad you enjoyed the video!
I was told it wouldn't work, but it did. I did cheese burger macaroni in my crockpot.
Sounds wonderful!
Hi Emmy and Paul. Hope you both have a great vacation with your son. Good times! Will be making that chicken and noodle dish soon. That looks so good. Thanks for showing us how to make a cream soup ... that is a big money saver. I actually make many meals in the crockpot. Either some chicken or turkey ham steak with lots of potatoes, carrots, celery, seasonings and water or broth. Just simple meals ... light on meat with many, many veggies. Enjoy your vacation.
Karen we are doing that more and more. Less meat more veggies and fillers! Thank you!
Your meals looked great!! I make one potmeals of filling lentil or white bean soup with dried herbs ( rosemary, thym, sage parsley) Could ad🥫 a can of tomatoes a carrot 🥕or pepper🫑onions 🧅zucchini🍆broccoli🥦.leeks work fine too! Sometimes I ad a couple bacon rasher cut up in thin slices for a deep smoky taste.
That sounds so delicious and creative!
You are such a sweet soul Emmy! Thank you for for the receipe for condensed soup! My only go to crock pit meal would be green beans/smoked sausage/potatoes, onion and spices. So thankful I found you channel, your videos are so uplifting🧡
Thanks so much for the kind words Sally!
Definitely going to try these both. Thanks Emmy!
Thanks Lisa for watching!
Chuck roast and potatoes is my go to crockpot meal for years. Fall apart tender.
I am definitely trying these recipes- looks delicious as always.
Thank you again for a great video!! 👍
Thank you so much for the kind words Kathleen!
Thank you very much for the Crock Pot recipes! God bless
Thank you! God bless you as well!
Thanks for the recipe 😘. The chicken and noodles look great.
Thanks for watching and sharing Phyllis!
The simplest crockpot recipe I've ever come across is to add chicken breast and a jar of salsa. Seriously, I had to try it because it was so easy. I couldn't believe anything that simple would taste so good. I cook it in the crock pot on low for 8 hours it high for 3-4 hours. We put it over cooked rice but it would go well over noodles or even in tacos if you thicken the sauce with a corn starch slurry.
Love your recipes in this video. Yum!
Yes! That is one of our favorites too! Love it over rice!
Wow, they both look delicious. Definitely a keeper. Macaroni and cheese in the crackpot is probably my go to recipe. Chili is also an easy recipe to make in the Fall months. I did make rice pudding a few times and it was a big hit. I hope you are enjoying your time in NC. Perfect time to be at the beach.
Thank you so much!
Just made the chicken with noodles. It was delicious and so easy to make. Thank you for sharing!
Yay! Elizabeth, so glad you enjoyed it!
We do chicken with Italian salad dressing in the crockpot a lot.
I have never tried that Carolyn! Sounds good!
@@FrugalMoneySaver My family likes it. I got the idea from my sister-in-law
Yummy recipes! Can’t wait to try them! Excellent for potlucks too!
The creamy chicken and noodles served over a biscuit, who needs to make pot pies?!?
Love the cream soup recipe.
My favorite crockpot recipe is soups! Any type. I’ve been cooking so long, no recipe, just start throwing things in, yum!
Emmy, how do you access all your recipes on this site again? I’ve forgotten. You have so many great recipes! Thank you in advance for your help ❤️
How was your beach visit? Looked wonderful
Go to my homepage and look at playlists. They are organized by category and video. We are still here actually in SC🌴
Thank you, great dishes! 🤗
Thank you for watching!
I'm trying the ziti recipe very soon! I like to make a pork shoulder butt roast with a cup of root beer and add my favorite BBQ sauce at the end. Makes great pulled pork sliders or is great over noodles or rice.
Oh my goodness root beer that sounds delicious
Love your show Emmy and Paul! From South Jersey! God bless you 🙏
Thank you so much Angela! God bless you as well!
Thanks. Yum yumm.
Thanks for watching Jody
Looks delish 😊❤️
Thank you Francine!
The chicken and noodles looks like a chicken pot pie without the crust. Yummy.
Yes! So delicious!
😜 You had me at SQUIRREL!!
Lol! It’s a chipmunk lol
Hi Emmy and Paul great video! Learnt wonderful punctual tasty crockpot dishes but there is a suggestion I would like to give that is to make white sauce I don't make it in butter instead when I boil pasta it loses its starch and we can add milk powder in it the right now so it gives that white sauce consistency and the taste to it that does the job later cheese can be added so no need to add those extra calories of butter. If this can help.
Thank you so much Deepa for sharing that!
