The result? An utterly creamy, delicious dish that whispered notes of a crustless pot pie with every bite.

🍲 Hearty Crock Pot Chicken and Noodles

Ingredients:

2 cans of cream of chicken soup

2 cans of chicken broth (15oz each)

1 stick of butter or margarine

1 lb of chicken breasts (fresh or frozen)

1 package of frozen egg noodles (24 oz) – I used Reames.

Directions:

Layer Your Flavors: Place the chicken at the bottom of the crockpot, cascading over it the chicken broth and soup. Crown this layer with the stick of butter, then set the crockpot to a low setting for a luxurious 6-7 hour simmer.

Shred and Return: Post simmering, extract the chicken, shred it finely, and usher it back into the crockpot.

Noodle Time: Introduce the frozen noodles to the mix, cooking for an additional 2 hours, and giving it a gentle stir every 30 minutes until perfection is achieved.

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • Additional melted butter for brushing (optional)

Instructions:

5 Ingredient Apple Dumplings

0

Ah, the holidays! A time when our kitchens are bustling with a myriad of activities and the sweet and savory scents of seasonal recipes. Let’s dive into a shortcut to create an enchanting classic dessert with an unexpected twist. Brace yourselves for a tantalizing secret: a splash of lemon-lime soda. Crafting these apple dumplings is incredibly straightforward and they’re destined to dazzle your guests.

What truly catapults this dessert into a realm of its own is a single can of lemon-lime soda. It not only bestows sweetness but also endows the dumplings with an irresistibly moist texture. No need to be a culinary chemist to recognize that this is a secret concoction for success! Imagine serving this freshly baked, warm delight topped with a creamy scoop of vanilla ice cream.

But let’s not pigeonhole it as merely a dessert! These versatile dumplings are equally at home on your brunch table, adorned with fresh fruit and served alongside a plate of scrambled eggs. Any reason to whip up these heavenly parcels is a splendid one!

Ingredients

2 (8oz) cans refrigerated crescent rolls

1 (20oz) can apple pie filling

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup brown sugar

1 can lemon-lime soda

Let’s Get Baking!

Set your oven to warm up at 350°F and gently grease a 13″ x 9″ baking dish with butter or a spritz of non-stick spray.

Unwrap the crescent rolls, dividing them into the pre-cut triangles.

Deposit a hearty spoonful of apple pie filling onto the broadest part of the dough, then embark on a roll! Begin from the filled end and roll away from you to seal the delightful filling inside.

Gently place your apple-packed roll into your greased baking dish and repeat until all your dough triangles are cozily placed.

In a separate vessel, mingle butter and brown sugar together, whisking until you reach a silky smooth consistency, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

Bestow a teaspoon of your butter mixture atop each crescent roll, then cascade the lemon-lime soda into your baking dish, ensuring it fills the spaces amidst the rolls – take care to avoid pouring directly over the rolls.

Transition your baking dish into the oven and allow to bake for 35-40 minutes or until the rolls bask in a golden brown hue. Serve warm and perhaps with a crown of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.

This delightful recipe promises a journey of flavors, from the unexpected zest of the soda to the comforting familiarity of the apple filling. Enjoy this delicious shortcut, and may your holidays be filled with joy, love, and fabulous food!
