Can you cook noodles in a crock pot

Strange question, but could you perhaps use cream of sweet corn soup instead of cream of chicken? I love how this is a one pot and done meal!

I even started with frozen chicken breasts. I added carrots and chopped celery, which added some good flavor and veggies. My house smelled wonderful! I only had one cream of chicken soup, so just used a cream of mushroom- no big deal!

I like how it can be versatile with what you have at home. Definitely a keeper! Thanks you. I used a Costco pork roast and added an extra can of soup. Good recipe and easy. Hi Patricia, you can use a different type of noodle, but cooking time will vary. Egg noodles just tend to work well in the crockpot. This recipe is absolutely delicious! I also added carrots and celery at about the last 3 hours of cook time! It says 8 servings at about cal per serving.

Just wanting to know the size please. I also add about 2 cups frozen broccoli and a cup of shredded mild cheddar during the last hour of cooking I cook on high. Absolutely delicious! Pasta can quickly turn into a mushy mess in the slow cooker. And by quickly, I mean really quickly. To keep the pasta from getting soggy, add the shells plus 1 cup of hot water or maybe more, depending on how much liquid is already in the slow cooker when there is 30 minutes left in the cooking cycle.

Noodles left to simmer in soup for too long become slimy and overly soft, and they can break down and make your soup too starchy. Technically speaking, you can boil water in a crock pot but it will most likely take anywhere from one to four hours and it will also not come to a rolling boil like you would get in any other stove top pot. Bone-in Chicken Breasts. Bone-in chicken is less likely to dry out than boneless, so you have flexibility to cook the chicken on high.

Lightly coat a 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Add the marinara sauce, pasta, zucchini, carrots, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, olives, and water; stir to combine. Cover and cook on LOW until the pasta is tender, about 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours. I cooked on low and within 2 hours it was just all mush. Too funny I was going to surprise my wife after work!! Needles to say, she was not impressed. Any ideas would be appreciated. Many thanks -. Hi, Bill! I'm sorry that it didn't work.

It sounds like you have a slow cooker that runs at a relatively high temperature, so 2 hours was just too long for the spaghetti to be in there. If you try it again, I would keep an eye on the noodles starting at 1 hour.

It will likely be done between 1 hour and 90 minutes in your pot. Again, sorry that it was a disappointment last night! I did exactly 2 hours with Bucatini pasta and it was perfect not mushy at all. I think regular spaghetti doesn't work well. I tried this tonight for supper. I sure do wish the part about the whole wheat pasta would have been nearer to the top and possibly in neon flashing lights. I put mine on high with THIN wheat pasta and went back to stir 45 minutes later to find mush.

Granted, it's very tasty mush but we still had to eat a bigger salad and omit the garlic bread. I'll try this again but it will definitely be with the pasta in regular thickness and on LOW. I just cook my noodles the normal way and the add the sauce to the noodles afterwards. After all it only takes about 10 minutes to cook noodles. Or did you still use it? I was thinking it was for the noodles or maybe not?

Please remember that all crock pots vary so adding the noodles and how long they will need to cook is going to depend on how hot the liquid is in your crock pot.

I recently cooked this on hot to speed up the process, the liquid was very hot, i t took 12 minutes to cook the noodles. I added 2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables when I put the chicken in it. I was surprised that the noodles cooked so well in the crockpot. It was delicious.
