E-Z Chicken Dumplings

Ingredients:
6 flash frozen chicken breasts
3 cans of regular size Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup
1/2 lg. onion
3 3/4 c. water
4 cans of biscuits

In crock pot: put in the soup, chicken breasts, onion and water. Mix well. Put crock pot on low heat.

6-8 hours later: pull out the chicken breasts and cut into chunks (I use kitchen scissors). Put the chunked chicken back into the pot. Get out the biscuits, cut them into 4ths and put directly into crock pot. 30 - 45 minutes later. Dish up and enjoy!

This is EASY and sounds a little odd...but it is DEE-LISH! Kid friendly comfort food!

1 package of Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1 package of Chili Seasoning (whatever is your favorite - I use French's)

Vonna's Creamy Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff

This delicious recipe came from I don't know where....but I think it was off of a Campbell's soup label. Over the years I've "tweaked" it to make it my own. You'll LOVE it! We do! :)

Ingredient List:

2 lbs. cubed stew beef
salt and pepper to taste
2 regular sized cans of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup
3 Tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
3 oz. Philly Cream Cheese
16 oz. Daisy Sour Cream
Egg Noodles (I prefer) or Rice (if you like)


In your crock pot:
put the beef, soup, salt/pepper and worcestershire sauce in. Turn the heat to low and forget it for 6 - 10 hours. (mine only takes 6 hours because it gets really HOT)



30 Minutes PRIOR to eating:
Add the cream cheese and the sour cream; mix well and let the mixture set at LOW for the remaining cook time.

While you're waiting:
boil your noodles (or your rice). Once they are done, so is your Stroganoff!


Plate 'er up!
Particularly good with a green salad and butter bread ;o)


EAT UP! YUM-O!
