Buffalo Chicken Pasta

I'm LOVING my Crockin Girls Cookbook!
 
From the “Slow Cookin’ Mamas” Slow Cookin’ Companion Cookbook
 
 
I've tried a lot of their recipes lately and I haven't found one yet that wasn't fabulous!

The Buffalo Chicken Pasta proved to be great as well!
 
Dustin and I like just about anything that involves Buffalo Chicken.
I thought this one might be a winner.
And bonus points for being made in the crock pot!
 
It was too spicy for the kids so they had chicken nuggets!!!!
 
 
BUFFALO CHICKEN PASTA
1 lb chicken, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup hot sauce
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup ranch
1 1/2 cup sour cream (I left this out because I didn't have any!)
3 cups penne pasta, cooked
 
Season chicken with salt and pepper and place in slow cooker.
Add the chicken soup, hot sauce,  and diced tomatoes.
Cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
Stir in the cheese, ranch, and sour cream, then turn off slow cooker.
Boil pasta, drain and add to the slow cooker.
Stir well and serve!

I forgot to take a picture of the finished product-I was more focused on eating!!!

Cheesy Beef Stroganoff and compliments from the 2 year old

I am not going to claim this was the healthiest meal I've ever made for my family.
But it was good.
And after one bite, Preston turned to me and said,
"Like. Dinner."
Pretty sure we'll make it again because of that compliment alone!
 
And it only has 6 ingredients, if you count the black pepper!

3 cups egg noodles, uncooked
1/2 lb. (8 oz.) VELVEETA, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 can (10-3/4 oz.) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/4 tsp. black pepper

Make It


BROWN meat in large skillet; drain.
STIR in water; bring to boil. Add noodles; stir. Cover; simmer on medium-low heat 8 min. or until noodles are tender.

It was a yummy dinner on a chilly fall evening.
I added some vegetables and a salad and everyone was happy!

And even the leftovers were good!
