Leftover Cheesy Broccoli & Noodles (non-crock)

We had left over Elbow Noodles (a bunch) & needed to do something with them. Couldn't put them in the crockpot for fear of making them mushy. So I grabbed 2 bags of frozen broccoli & 1/2 block of Velveeta. Mixed that together, and cooked in the oven. 

I'm guessing I had about a ::

1 lb of Cooked Elbow Noodles
2 -16 oz of Frozen Broccoli (whole)
1/2 a block of Velveeta
1/2 of choice shredded cheese

Seasonings I used to desired amount:
garlic & onion powder
salt & pepper

I melted the Velveeta first as I laid the cooked macaroni & broccoli in the pan. Went ahead & seasoned them before I poured the Velveeta on top. I mixed it up. Then covered the mixture with Shredded Cheese.
Cooked on 375 for 35 minutes.




Finally got my 5 year old to eat so you know it was good.

Velveeta's Broccoli Cheese Soup

This one is obviously borrowed.


2 tbsp.  butter or margarine
2 tbsp.  flour
3 cups  milk
Whole Block of Velveeta, cut into cubes
1 pkg.  (10 oz.) frozen chopped broccoli, cooked, drained
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp.  pepper
 
Melt Velveeta in pot while preparing broccoli on High. I chopped up the broccoli as much as possible & tossed them in. Then add the rest. Then turn on low. Cook until all of the Velveeta is melted then enjoy! 

You could add cream cheese & onions to it for more flavor but this above tasted just fine.

Whole Chicken


I found a different way of doing this. I can't remember which site I got this idea from. But take some foil & make balls & flatten it.  Depending on how big the chicken is you may have to flatten it more



Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Thyme
Poultry Seasoning
Tony's


I have no measurements, I used as much as I thought was needed. So just a pinch here, pinch there until you think it's too your liking. 

This is going to take 7-8 Hours. 
Cook on High for 2 Hours then Switch to Low for 5-6 Hours

Ranch Pork Chops

5 Boneless Pork Chops
2- Cream of Chicken (plus 2 cans of water)
2 Packets of Hidden Valley Ranch Mix

Mix the Cream of Chicken & Ranch Mix together. Then Add the Pork Chops. Make sure most of each chop is covered. 

Cook on Low for 4-6 Hours.

The Dry Rub:

Mix together the spices for the rub in a bowl & rub all over the shoulder. Top, bottom, sides, etc. Place into Crock. Turn on High.
In a separate bowl, mix together BBQ Sauce & Root Beer. Pour into a measuring cup or something with a spout & carefully not touching the roast (don't rinse off spices) Pour in the BBQ Sauce & Root Beer mixture. 

Cook on High for 4-6 Hours, OR Low 8 Hours. 







It does have a spicy kick to it. So if your not into too much spice just cut back on it, it will taste just fine.
