Is the chicken cooked or raw??
It is raw.
Do you add water to the Tin of chicken soup or just add it as is out of the tin ??
This looks AMAZING! Do you drain the mushroom’s? I can’t wait to make this.
I actually used fresh. 🙂
Making this recipe now! Do I add any water? Or just the soup out of the can no water!
Do you use raw mushrooms or canned? If I want to use raw, should I cook them first?
I used raw.
Am I supposed to stir the contents at any time during the cooking process ?
Nope! Just dump it in and let it cook. 🙂
Have you found what temp works better? The low 4-6hrs or on high for 3-4. I’m trying this today and want to make sure is cooked through but not overcooked.
I always like to cook mine on low. Sometimes if you cook on high it can cook faster and dry out the meat. You just have to watch closely.
Is it condensed cream of chicken soup you used? ?
Yes it is.
Was the cream cheese mixture supposed to be added in later on? The instructions said to put it all together and cook but I did that and it was not creamy at all. Very soupy.
The beef strog. I’m used to has sour cream, do you think it would be okay to add some?
Ummmm, I’m sorry but something appears to be missing from the ingredient list and instructions, sure looks like there are egg noodles in the pictures and in other Stroganoff recipes, but none mentioned?
I fixed that! Thanks
How much noodles?
I added some sautéed onions, cayenne, and herbs de provence. I also used cream of mushroom instead of cream of chicken.
I’m SO excited to try this – but can you tell me about when you add the noodles?? do you add them dry or cooked to the crockpot? and at the beginning or towards the end? I didn’t see them on the ingredient list. THANK YOU!
Just add them at the end, or serve the dish on top of noodles.
Do you have the nutritional values for this recipe???
Cooked noodles
This looks amazing!!! Will certainly be trying this out this week! Thank you for sharing.
Mmmmmm…..yum. This looks totally amazing. I’m just starring at the screen looking at how delicious they look.
This dish is wonderful!!! But the only change I made was I used 1 medium diced real red onion instead of the onion soup mix. I am highly allergic to MSG so tend to use fresh ingredients in everything I cook – nothing packaged. The cream of chicken soup was Campbell’s Healthy Request Cream of Chicken soup which is low sodium and has no MSG. And I added on Tablespoon of minced garlic – just because I like garlic.
Thanx for sharing!! that sounds divine!!
I find it intriguing that you’re highly allergic to MSG yet decided to make this dish,considering that mushrooms contain 180 mg of MSG per 100 g serving meaning that this dish contains about 400 mg of MSG. Truly fascinating!
FYI … Monosodium glutamate, or MSG, is a food additive used to enhance the flavor of savory foods. Glutamate is also found naturally in many foods, including mushrooms. I had no idea .. I had to look it up!
LOL! Who gets this amped up about a recipe or someone’s allergies? Going the extra mile… ???
Why do you have to be like that? Just be kind or keep scrolling.
Definitely try a homemade onions soup mix. No MSG, stores well, tastes delicious and convenient
If you have a Trader Joe’s in your area, they have an onion soup mix with NO MSG in it. Also, you can substitute Classico Alfredo sauce for the canned condensed soups. Not all varieties are MSG-free, but most are. They have a similar consistency as the soups, though are not as thick. Check the labels.
