Here’s a really good, and easy, slow cooker recipe.
Slow Cooker
Crack Chicken Pasta
5 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
8 oz. Velveeta cubed
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
One Packet Hidden Valley Buttermilk Recipe Ranch Dry Seasoning
3 cups Penne/Mostaccoli Pasta uncooked
1-1/2 cups mild cheddar cheese
1 cup bacon pieces
Cut the meat off your Rotisserie chicken and shred it or dice.
In your slow cooker combine your shredded chicken, ranch packet, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, water and cubed Velveeta. Put the lid back on and cook on high for three hours.
After three hours on high, add the noodles and give it a good stir. Place the lid back on the crockpot for 20 more minutes on high.
Give it another good stir and place the lid back on for ten minutes. Give it (yet another!) good stir and top with the cheese, and lastly the bacon pieces.
Replace the lid and let the cheese melt for about 5 minutes.
