I recently had a friend tell me noodles served with mashed potatoes is a Midwest thing. She also told me it gross, which I refuse to believe. A double dose of carbs is definitely not gross. I also love my mom's homemade beef and noodles served over mashed potatoes. Another double dose or carbohydrate goodness. A Midwest thing or not, I love it.
I unfortunately don't have time to do homemade most days and the crockpot is my best friend, especially on days that we have to close up shop at work. I tried a couple recipes and came up with a version that we love. Easy and still tasty.
Crockpot Chicken and Noodles
3 chicken breast (fresh or frozen)
1 can cream of chicken soup
32 oz chicken broth
4 TBSP butter
2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
19 oz pkg frozen egg noodles (I used store brand)
Directions
1. Combine all ingredients, except noodles, in crockpot. Cook on low 4 -6 hours.
2. Shred chicken into large pieces.
3. Return chicken to crockpot along with frozen noodles. Cook on low for 2-3 hours, or high for an hour.
4. Serve noodles alone or on a bed of mashed potatoes.
When I made this last week, the first night I served it with just a side of green beans. When doing leftovers, I made garlic smashed red potatoes to go along with. Both ways were totally delicious, but the kids preferred the noodles without potatoes. Although, they aren't big on potatoes unless they're in fry or tot form. Sometimes I wonder if they are truly my children. Ok, not really but how can you not love mashed potatoes?
