So I found this recipe on Pinterest.
I was super excited. I love my crock pot and I love stuffing.
And it looked super easy. Just throw chicken, stuffing, a can of cream of chicken soup, some sour cream and some water in the crock and let it go? YES PLEASE!
To be fair. I am making fun of myself in this post. Most everything that went wrong was my own fault and I will attempt this recipe again once I get over some of my own stupidity.
Thing started to go wrong right from the start.
My crock pot was on the counter and I took inventory of everything I needed.
I opened my chicken only to be accosted with the "foul"est of smells (cause who doesnt love a good pun?) Much to my dismay this chicken had spoiled. I'm still not sure how but it was disgusting. I bagged it up and asked Mr. Hubby to please take it to the dumpster right away. One whiff and he obliged with out complaint.
It was the last of my chicken and we had already bought groceries for the week. But I decided to go a head with the recipe sans chicken. I mean stuffing is amazing by its self right? One of my favorite parts about thanksgiving is leftover stuffing.
But I want it to be more than just flavored bread. Clint and I love corn and I always mix corn in my stuffing anyway. So I will throw that in there.
So in the crock went stuffing, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, some margarine and a drained can of corn. I hadnt pulled up the pin because I mean its so simple right?
Well, it didn't seem like enough liquid I must have misread.... So I added about 2 cans of water. maybe.... it might have been more. I was thinking it was about the amount that I would need to cook the stuffing on the stove top.
Than I had an idea. There's cream of chicken soup in it and I always make my cream of chicken with milk. So I threw in a can of milk or so.
I wasn't really thinking when I did this. I was cooking while extremely hungry. I spaced eating that day and had only had a cliff bar and my coffee and it was well after 2pm. Not doing that again.
Knowing it wouldn't need too long because there was no need to worry about chicken getting cooked through I checked it about 1.5 hrs later.
Needless to say there was not only too much liquid but the crock pot over cooked everything so it was just mush.. . very tasty mush. but other than that it was basically inedible. I have included a picture at the bottom of this post. But fair warning. It looks nasty. Like wet dog food.
So in a nutshell:
1) Chicken went horribly bad. I had never actually smelled spoiled chicken before and don't care to again.
2) Too much liquid.
RESULT - Visually unappetizing (that's probably not strong enough of a word) but actually pretty good tasting mush.
If you want to see the result scroll to the bottom.
