This recipe is an awful mess-very thick and gloppy! Wouldn't make this again! -
This is a great, quick meal for one of those "soccer-mom" days. (When I finish writing this, I have to dress DS for soccer, haha!) Seriously, if I had used baby carrots instead of peeling big ones, this would have taken all of 5 minutes to throw together, and the kids are having seconds. I made a couple changes on the amounts, based on our family's preferences: I doubled the amount of carrots, and DH and I still got shortchanged, as the kids LOVE them. I only used two large chicken breasts, enough for the 4 of us, and only used 1 can of cream of mushroom. There was plenty of gravy without adding a second can. I didn't need the potato flakes, it was just the right consistency, and everything was cooked perfectly. Thanks for a quick and easy one! We all have "those days" when pulling out all the pots and pans just ISN'T an option. -
All I can say is WOW, what a wonderful comfort food, even on a 36 degree C day, like it was here when I made it today. Found out it is a true kid pleaser which I did not expect. Made and reviewed for the bake off # 14 (recipe swap #14!!!) March 2008. Will have to make again because hubby never got a chnce to have any!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I have two boys Eddie 18 and Brandon 10. I have been with my hubby for 16 years. I work full time outside the home and my boys keep me busy at home. Eddie is a singer and base guitar player in a band and Brandon races go karts. We also have a Collie/Beagle mix named Sugar.
I love to cook and try out new recipes. My family likes it too but at times ask my to make just "normal" food, as I forget sometimes to make my own TNT recipes.
I cook a lot with with my crock pot as it makes life a lot easier for me. I am always on the look out for new crock pot recipes.
I'm not much of a baker as I don't like to measure things.
I collect cookbooks and recipes in general. I usually start with a recipe and tweak to my families liking.
My Rating System:
5 Stars = The whole family enjoyed the dish and it will be added to my TNT cookbook. Book #220911. These recipes will be made again and again.
4 Stars = Recipe was good, but needed some modifications or it was good but not something we would want on a regular basis. Also goes into my TNT-4 star recipe cookbook. Book #220912
3 Stars = It was edible, but won't be made again.
2 Stars = Needs some kind of major adjustments.
1 Stars = Inedible, didn't work, waste of ingredients.
