That would be CORRECT!!!! I have pinned this recipe on Pinterest and decided that tonight was the night to make it! The directions seemed quick and easy, and they were. It is one of the best meals we've had lately! :)
CHICKEN CRESCENT ROLL CASSEROLE
INGREDIENTS:
2 (8 oz.) Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (or 1 Large Roll of 8 Crescents) (I used the large)
1 (10.75 oz) Cream of Chicken Soup
3/4 C. Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 C. Whipping Cream
FILLING:
4 oz. Cream Cheese; very soft
4 Tbsp. Butter; very soft
1 tsp. Garlic Powder (optional)
1/3 C. Onion; finely chopped
2 Large Cooked Chicken Breasts; finely chopped
3/4 C. Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Pepper
2-4 Tbsp. Mayonnaise or Whipping Cream
1-2 C. Shredded Cheddar Cheese (for topping)
Butter a casserole dish, big enough to hold crescents. In a suacepan, mix the 1/2 C. Whipping Cream, 3/4 C. Cheese and Undilute Cream of Chicken Soup. Heat just until the cheese melts (do not boil). For the filling---In a bowl mix the Cream Cheese and Butter until very smooth. Add in the Garlic Powder. Add in the chopped Chicken, Onion and Cheddar Cheese; mix well. Add in 2 Tbsp. Whipping Cream or Mayonnaise; mix to combine. (Add a little more if mixture seems too dry.) Season with Salt and Pepper. Unroll the Crescent Rolls. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the Chicken Mixture on top of each crescent triangle, roll up starting at the thicker end. Drizzle a small amount of the Soup Mixture in the bottom of baking dish. Then place the Crescents seam-side down on top of the Creamed Mixture. Drizzle the remaining Sauce on the top, and sprinkle with 1-2 C. Cheddar Cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
These are a lot of cheesy goodness!

And For Tonight's Supper....
...You guessed it, another Crock-Pot Meal!!! I'm still feeling under the weather and since it is a little dark, and gray outside, I decided that this was the perfect time to try this recipe!
SLOW COOKER HAM & WHITE BEANS
INGREDIENTS:
1 Lb. Dried Northern Bean
1 Lb. Diced Ham
2 tsp. Onion Powder
6 C. Water
Salt and Pepper to taste
Rinse and sort the Beans for any pebbles. Add the rinsed Beans, Onion Powder, Salt, Pepper and Ham to Crock-Pot. Add Water. Cover and cook on low about 8 hours or until beans are tender. Serve with Cornbread.
I will also be making Cornbread to go with this tonight.

The Crock-Pot Is My Friend...
I absolutely love using my crock-pot to prepare meals! It saves me so much time, but yet produces a delicious hearty meal everytime! This was no exception!
I haven't been feeling the best lately, so I've taken advantage of being able to throw the food in the crock-pot and let it work its magic.
SLOW COOKER CHICKEN CORDON BLEU
INGREDIENTS:
6 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 (10.75 oz.) Can Cream of Chicken Soup
1 C. Milk
6 Slices of Ham
6 Slices of Swiss Cheese
1 (8 oz.) Pkg. Savory Herb Stove-top Stuffing Mix
1/4 C. Butter; melted
Mix together the Cream of Chicken Soup and the Milk in a small bowl. Pour enough of the soup in the crock-pot to cover the bottom. Layer Chicken over the sauce. Top with a Slice of Ham and a Slice of Cheese. Pour the remaining Soup over the layers. Sprinkle the Dry Stuffing over the top, and drizzle the top with Butter. Cover, and cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours, or on High for 2 to 3 hours.
This was one of the best meals we've had. I would dare say that it's better than the Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe that I posted for the oven! It really was fantastic! Give it a try!

Another GREAT Crock-Pot Meal!
My parents were in town this week babysitting their grandbabies. The bro and I spent some time with them as well. I made this for supper on Tuesday evening and brought some for the parents to have as well. It was delicious, even my niece W. loved it!
CROCK-POT BBQ BEER CHICKEN
INGREDIENTS:
3 Lbs. Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Tbsp. Onion Powder
1 Tbsp. Paprika
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Pepper
8 oz. Beer (I used a classic Amber Beer)
32 oz. BBQ Sauce (NOT Sweet Baby Ray's as it's too thick)
Season Chicken with Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Paprika, Salt and Pepper. Add to Crock-pot, then add Beer and 24 ounces of BBQ Sauce. Cook on low for 8 hours, tossing once or twice if desired. After 8 hours, shred Chicken and add remaining BBQ Sauce. Toss Chicken to coat and let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to absorb everything. Serve as desired. (I served it on Onion Rolls with some cheese)
***NOTE*** If you don't want to use Beer, you can try a Ginger Ale, Chicken Stock or even Water.
It makes a ton of food. I had enough to give to the parents, a container for the freezer and enough leftovers for the bro and I.
