Lazy Potato Crockpot Soup

 

This is so easy to make and sooo delicious! Perfect for busy Halloween families! 🎃👻

Lazy Potato Crockpot Soup

Ingredients

2 (30ozeach) bags frozen hash browns 

2 cans cream of chicken soup

8oz sour cream

4 cups Mexican shredded cheese blend (cheddar, Colby and Monterey Jack)

Chicken bullion powder

8 cups warm water

Dry minced onion

Salt and black pepper to taste

Parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Put bags frozen hash browns in the bottom of large crockpot.

2. Add soup to the top of hash browns then sour cream and mix soup and sour cream together on the top of the hash browns (kind of like frosting lol).

3. Add 3 heaping spoons of chicken bullion powder to 4 cups of warm water, mix to dissolve then pour over soup/sour cream and hash browns.

4. Repeat steps in #3. You don’t need to mix it.

5. Add a good amount of dry minced onion and some salt and pepper.

6. Cook on high for 3 hours.

7. Stir well and add cheese (save some for garnish if desired) then stir well again.

8. Continue to cook on high for 3-5 more hours (frozen raw potatoes take forever to cook). 

9. Once potatoes are soft, stir and serve! 

NOTE: This will likely cook faster if you use boiling water instead of warm.

This makes a large amount. I have big soup eaters but you can cut recipe in half for a smaller serving amount or if you have a smaller crockpot. 

Low carb chicken broccoli bake

 

I’m trying to find super easy recipes since diagnosed with AFib. This is one of the easiest dump meals and a hit with the family! 

Low Carb Chicken Broccoli Bake

Ingredients:

1 bag (22oz <1.37pounds>) frozen Tyson grilled and ready diced chicken breast

1 bag (2pounds)  frozen broccoli florets

1 jar (25.1 oz) Ragu classic Alfredo sauce

2-3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Parmesan cheese (the one you put on spaghetti)

Garlic powder, pink salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°.

2. Pour bag of frozen chicken into a 9x13 baking dish. 

3. Pour bag of frozen broccoli on top of chicken.

4. Pour jar of sauce over the broccoli. 

5. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Do not stir.

6. Cover with foil and bake for 40 min. After 40 minutes, stir, cover then put back in for 20 more minutes.

7. Remove from oven. Uncover and stir. Sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese over the top. Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top. 

8. Return to oven uncovered for about 5 min until cheese melts. Serve and enjoy! Makes enough for about 4-6.

NOTES: You don’t really have to measure but remember the meat and broccoli will shrink after heating. If using rotisserie chicken and fresh broccoli you don’t have to heat as long. Also, you could probably make this in the crock pot following the same steps.
