Ditch the canned mushroom soup and make this classic old school slow cooker dish from scratch. It is made with wholesome ingredients and I even lightened up the dish by substituting the sour cream and cream cheese with Greek yogurt! With that being said, I already know what you might be thinking. Does it taste sour with the Greek yogurt? The simple answer is not at all, shocking I know! I mixed in other ingredients and flavors to where you will not be able to tell the difference whatsoever. So, you can trick your family and friends by providing a comforting meal, yet little do they know it is on the healthier side as well!
I always ate this dish growing up and all I remember is loving it and being comforted. I remember when I was younger, I would get home from gymnastics practice and my mom would have this hot and ready on our dinner table. This is that type of meal that is inviting, brings the family to the table and reminds me of home. I am getting giddy just thinking about it! So, I knew I had to recreate my mom’s classic recipe. I wanted the dish to still have those warm fuzzy feeling and tasty qualities, yet have my own spin on it. I swapped out the classic egg noodles for a more fun and appealing curly noodle, otherwise known as fusilli corrti bucatini pasta and I lightened it up with the Greek yogurt.
This is a slow cooker recipe that is simple and effortless. It is also a meal that you make in bulk, so you will be sure to have left overs that can be enjoyed for the next few days to follow. The prep take little to no time and the cooking on your end is almost non-existent. Let the slow cooker do its magic and work for you while you just sit back and relax.
There Is no need to precook the meat, you simply cut the meat into cubes, coat them in flour, mix the sauce ingredients, dice the yellow onion and toss all ingredients into one pot and place on high. I also found that this recipe takes less than 4 hours. I ended up switching my crockpot to warm after only 3! So, Iwas able to enjoy this meal sooner than expected.
This is a meal that we will never get tired of and can be passed down from generation to generation. It isa pure classic that appeals to any crowd. Make this if you are in need of an easy meal for the whole family, on those cold fall and winter nights or if you are craving something tasty yet heartwarming.
