This is another good recipe to fix ahead and have ready for your football crowd.
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, found by salad dressings
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 crock pot combine your shredded chicken, ranch packet, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, water and cubed Velveeta.
Put the lid back on your crock pot 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 10 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.
