Notes

For more helpful hints, substitution ideas, slow cooking tips, and other delicious recipe ideas, check out my post above.
TOP TIPS: Warm cream cheese slightly to help it melt. About 12 ounces of cooked noodles pairs perfectly with the sauce. Light cream cheese may be used. Use additional broth if the sauce is too thick or rich for your liking. 
VARIATIONS: Swap the mushroom soup for cream of celery, or use browned fresh meatballs. Add Worcestershire or Dijon for a flavor boost.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Garnish with parsley or chives. Serve with green beans, broccoli, or a green salad for a complete meal. These also make a great appetizer served straight out of the crockpot with some toothpicks.
