You're welcome Barry and Bob. It's really easy and delicious. I'm expecting Tony to request one any day now. Let me know if you make it.

Greg,

Any chance of hearing more details on the mushroom soup chicken in the Crock Pot?
Sorry for asking again. I'm hoping maybe you just missed the first post about it.
Thanks!

@ The Other Barry

Crock Pot/slow cooker chicken with mushroom soup is one of those staples that evolved along with that device.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=mushroom+soup+chicken+crock+pot

As such there are many variations but two main staples; cream of mushroom soup and a crock pot/slow cooker. What happens afterwards is only limited by one's creativity.

IIRC mushroom soup chicken may have been one of those original recipes for "busy housewives", working mothers and anyone else seeking a fast and easy meal that made use of the new kitchen gadget, the Crock Pot.

On a very basic level you just take some chicken, a can of cream of mushroom soup, and water. Dump the lot into slow cooker and set then forget.

justjunque · Oct 26, 2018

Thank you, Launderess

I figured it was probably something as simple or as "souped up" as one wants it to be.
I was just curious to know if Greg did anything special/specific with his take on it.
We've been talking about breaking out the Crock Pot more often.
There may be some version of mushroom soup chicken in our not too distant future!

Here’s something that my Grandma and Mom used to make, a midwestern dish, String Beans, Ham Hocks and Red New Potatoes. You cook it all together until the meat on the Ham Hocks is tender. Also, use some black pepper to taste. The String Beans will be WAY done, definitely not the way we are all used to eating them today. But it is a really delicious, old time family meal. They always served it with cornbread, to sop up the “pot liquor”.

I haven’t had this in years, and frankly, I could never do it the justice that Grandma and Mom did for the dish. But I need to give it a try again. Its good old country cookin.

I believe that this would also be good made in a crock pot.

Greg, I made the Chocolate Cobbler this evening for desert, asked an old friend over to eat with Dad & I as I wanted her take on it as well. The meal was Crockpot Creamy Chicken with Mushrooms over Rice, Corn on the Cob, Salad with fresh tomatoes, and tea to drink. Didn't have a 9x13 pan and ended up using a round 13" casserole dish. It came out sort of flat, think it was the flour, should have added some baking powder. I also cooked it longer than the 30 minutes as my oven seems to cook cooler than my old one. I'm going to retry this in about a week, with correct size pan and added baking powder. Also curious if an added touch of rum would be good? What did come out of the oven was utterly delightful, we all had seconds with "healthy" vanilla ice cream (guest is diabetic). It's really good, and the overall meal was pretty good.
Being a caregiver, don't think I could live without my Crockpot. I cook most everything on high and cut the cook time. It gives me a chance to clean up the kitchen as the meal cooks.

Barry, my mushroom soup chicken in the crock pot is just a whole chicken or chicken breasts with soup smeared over them. Nothing special. I do the same thing with pork chops. But My pork roast is a little different....I add a chopped onion to the cooker with the mushroom soup.

I made a chocolate cobbler tonight....there's saran wrap over it in the picture. It's only about an inch thick when cooked using White Lily self-rising flour.

joeekaitis · Oct 27, 2018

As you read this, the split peas have been simmering in the slow cooker since 7:00am PDT. The pressure cooker's waiting to take the stage atop the induction cooktop for the brown rice with sliced Polska Kielbasa.

They will be wed at dinnertime around 5:00pm.

luxflairguy · Oct 27, 2018

Having my church supper club group over tonight. Temps in the 50's, so having a Tuscan Minestrone soup with salad, bread and others are bringing dessert!

Split Pea Soup with sliced Smoked Brats and Brown Rice

The smoked Brats from ALDI are just the right size to slice into "dimes". Gonna make this batch one-pot style in a big slow cooker. Brown rice can withstand all-day simmering without dissolving. Just add enough extra liquid to accommodate the rice and let everything cook for 8 hours on Low.

appnut · Jan 10, 2019

Joe, how about a recipe please.

joeekaitis · Jan 10, 2019

But of course . . .
