wondering if you could put in the oven also
You sure can! I would cook it on 350 for about 45 mins to an hour.
Trying to find a recipe I could bring that could be baked, when the family was ready to eat. Could this be baked also? Not familiar with gluten free at all and this family is gluten free. Any info would be great. Thank you
You definitely could bake this instead. I would say 350 degrees for around 45 mins to an hour.
I didnt have the cheese soup on hand so I used 98% fat free cream of chicken soup instead. I added a little shredded parm and stirred in diced cooked turkey bacon at the end. This is FANTASTIC! I could easily make this a whole meal with adding a side salad or a soft garlic breadstick.
If I use fresh veggies will the broccoli be mushy before the carrots are cooked?
If I double the recipe, do I need to double the cook time as well?
No, you will not need to double the cooking time. I usually add another 10-15 minutes and check on it until it’s done.
Can I use any sized crockpot?
Any average sized one will work. Not the dip size but other than that.
You said you used 2 bags of frozen vegetables. Did you also double the rest of the ingredients? Thank you
No, this recipe calls for 24 oz of vegetables. You can use 1 24 oz bag or two 12 oz bags. As long as you use 24 oz the rest of the recipe is the same.
Can you easily double this recipe as is?
This was so good! My husband loved it and so did it. It was the perfect comfort food. I was in a rush at the grocery store and couldn’t find the cheddar soup so I used about 16 oz of velveeta cheese instead and it turned out great!!!
So glad y’all liked it!!
Do you put the veggies in frozen or thawed?
Hi Meghan, I dump these veggies in frozen!
How much is a serving ? A cup ?
Hi Haley, this recipe has 5 servings so a serving would be 1/5 of the recipe which is about a cup.
Kudos for this type of good website
This looks delicious. I may be able to get the kids to eat some veggies if it’s topped with cheese. Would fresh veggies work in this recipe? Thanks for sharing.
Yes fresh veggies should also work! You just may need to change the amount of time they cook and add a little more broth. I would add about 1/4-1/2 cup more broth for fresh and add 30 more minutes at a time until the veggies are tender. Hope you enjoy them Rhonda!
