My New BFF

The only thing that helps me get dinner done lately...the crock pot!

I plan on posting recipes as I try them if they are good, not only for you to try, but also so i have a place to find it again, rather than organizing the scraps of paper i have everywhere.  Seriously, this thing is awesome.  Throw in a bunch of junk in the morning, and TA DA!  dinner is done (sometimes overdone if Jacob wakes up a lot)

Mikes favorite recipe:  Chicken & Dumplings
Ingredients:
16-20 oz package of chicken breasts
Can of Cream of Chicken
Can of Cream of Celery
2-3 cans of Chicken broth
2 tblsp butter
1 ½ c carrots
1 ½ c celery
1 can of Buttermilk biscuits


Instructions:

Add to crockpot: cream soups and 2 or 3 cans of broth. If you want really thick, use only 2 cans, if more soupy, do 3 cans. Mix.

Add: Butter, chicken (whole pieces), carrots, celery, and salt/pepper for taste

Cook on low 8 hours

Pull chicken out of crockpot after 8 hours and shred (falls apart really easily). Put back into crockpot. Take biscuits, rip into small pieces and add to crockpot. Cook for another hour or so on low until biscuits aren’t doughy.
Enjoy!
