So, I happened to have a couple of bags of frozen broccoli that I got for free (I’m a couponer) and was looking for something I could use it in. I came across this recipe about a dozen times on Pinterest (on many different sites ) and it was easy and used the crockpot – the best kitchen appliance EVER! – so I thought I’d give it a shot.
Recipe:
- 1 can of cheddar soup
- 2 cans of cream of chicken soup
- A bag of frozen broccoli
- 2 cups of milk
- 1/4 tsp of garlic powder
- 2 to 3 cups of Chicken – cooked and shredded (I used about 3 cups.)
- Cooked noodles
Directions:
- Throw everything in the crockpot and mix it up.
- Cook it for three to four hours on low.
- Throw it on top of some noodles and you’re done.
Once you chuck everything in the crockpot and let it cook it comes out like this:
I served it over egg noodles.
Verdict: Fail
Nobody really loved this. It was edible, but rather bland. Despite the many recipes on the web for this dish that called it “cheesy” there wasn’t much of a cheese flavor to it. If you prefer your broccoli mushy (we do!) then you will definitely need to cook it longer. Somebody that knows more about cooking than I do could probably doctor this up to make it more appealing. Definitely not my biggest cooking fail, but I won’t be making it again.
