Chicken Pot Pie

I tried this recipe tonight and we all enjoyed it. The best part was how quick and easy it was to throw together, yet still have that "comfort food" taste.

CHICKEN POT PIE
2 cups cooked chicken, cubed (mine was shredded)
2 cans mixed vegetables, drained
2 cans cream of whatever soup (I used cream of chicken)
2 store-bought pie crusts (they come 2 in a package)

Press one crust into bottom of pie plate. Combine remaining ingredients, spoon into crust. Top with other crust, crimp edges, and poke holes to vent. Bake at 375 for 45-50 minutes.

That's it-- quick and easy! :)

My Crockpot Meatballs and Gravy

I'm really off my menu plan this week.... that's the first time in a long time that's happened. DH is home on vacation this week, so our plans keep changing day-to-day. Anyways, I went to dig this recipe out of the archives of my old cooking blog, so I thought I'd post it here for future reference. This is something I made up using a combination of other recipes.

Amy's Crockpot Meatballs and Gravy
1 lb hamburger
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 cup water
1 family-sized can (or two normal sized cans) cream of mushroom soup
approx. 2 TBSP brown gravy mix (guess-timated amount, I use a few shakes out of a large canister- I'm guessing that one envelope would work)
1 onion, sliced
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
Combine ground beef and soup mix, then form into meatballs. Bake on a cookie sheet at 400 for about twenty minutes.
After meatballs are browned, dump them into the crockpot. Combine mushroom soup, water, and gravy mix and pour over meatballs. Add in mushrooms and onions. Cover and cook on high for about three hours, or on low all day.

I serve it over mashed potatoes, with a side of green beans. It's an easy recipe for a comfort food dinner!
