COPYCAT CHILI'S CHICKEN ENCHILADA SOUP: lilluna.com/chilis-copycat-en...
*If you have the Auntie Nono's Firecracker Sea Salt, I would use .5 tsp of that to replace the other .5 tsp of salt added to the dish. Gives it a smokier, spicier kick.
SUBBIE SUPPER Submitted by Shelly
LAZY CHICKEN AND DRESSING
Ingredients:
2 boxes of Stove Top Stuffing (I use chicken flavor)
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 celery stalks chopped
1 small onion chopped
2-3 chicken brsts
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
*I added a handful of julienned carrots just because I had them on hand. I also skipped the S&P and used Auntie Nono's Everything Seasoning.
Spray the crockpot with cooking spray. Combine all the ingredients in the crockpot and mix well. You want the stuffing mix to be mixed well with the soup, broth and veggies. Lay the chicken breasts on top of the stuffing mixture. Sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly over the chicken. Cook on low for 4.5 hours. Shred the chicken and combine with the stuffing. The stuffing will look “mushy” on the surface, but when you shred the chicken and stir to combine with the stuffing, it’s the perfect consistency.
MANDY'S GREEN BEANS:
4 slices of bacon, chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 cans green beans, drained
1.5 - 2 cups chicken stock
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste
Cook bacon in same pot you plan to cook green beans. After the bacon is done, do not drain the grease! Pour in green beans, chicken stock and seasonings. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer for about 30 minutes (uncovered) until most of the liquid evaporates.

That’s every meal lol

Korean here!✋🏼white pepper is more mild and earthy and has a flavor profile more suited for asian cooking! It goes great with spicy, fiery, garlicky, gingery punchy flavors!

Thank you!!!

[@DRUGSTOREMAKEUPDIVA]

Yeah, what she said...😂😂😂😂

[@v-gailprice3443]

As I stated in my comment I have never used it but by your description I think I'm adding it to my shopping list as we make a LOT of Asian type foods at home, TY !!

[@kristadoll8015]

Huh, good to know! I had no idea.

[@TruthSeekerNC]

Thanks for clarifying that. I always said that white pepper was a waste of money but obviously I was wrong! 😆

[@MaryThomas-ef1sd]

You sure can tell by Steven's facial expressions with his first taste whether he likes, loves or dislikes a recipe. It's funny watching him. You do a great job on your cooking videos and I look forward to them weekly. Keep up the great attitude, your pretty smile and of course making sure we see Gracie.

[@faithpackett3315]

Mandy. Your my sister. Your videos aren't comfort food to be. They are emotional comfort. I'm going thru a huge mental trama and honestly it really does comfort be to seat down to Mandy in the making. Thank you girl.... From Idaho

[@IManifestSource]

I made this stir fry tonight and with “yums and ooohs” my husband said “you can make this again” which is the HIGHEST praise he gives a meal -sort of like Steven saying it’s a “ go back “. I thoroughly enjoy you and your videos, your family (especially Miss Gracie Lou- we rescue abandoned, neglected and abused animals so no offense to the 2 legged in your family but Missie Lou-Lou just steals my heart), and the joy y’all bring to us “subbies”!

[@carolcanny4778]

Hello !! I love your CHANNEL you guys are awesome ! I love your Southern Christian charm, your family seems so genuine, kind and real ! Yes most definitely i have seen shortages in my local stores. I think it's so wonderful how Steven helps out in the kitchen. You always make each recipe seems so easy, i love it ! You seem to cook a lot of Mexican style/ twist of cooking which my family absolutely LOVE too. We love spice/ heat also. Thank you for sharing all your DELICIOUS recipes !! 💖🍁🍃🍂 Love your Gracie Lou 🐈💞

[@tonibrown1862]

Mandy you never disappoint!! I watch you on Sunday to get some meal inspiration for the week. I always want to make everything you do! Thank you so much!! It’s really hard to meal plan when you’re out of ideas and you eliminate that for me. I am grateful that you are here doing what you do and doing it so well!! See you next week 😊😊😊

[@poguemom3]

When I do my enchilada soup, I put crushed tortilla chips, some grated Colby Jack, and sliced avocado in the bottom. Then I spoon the hot soup over top. Then I sprinkle a few diced tomatoes on the top. When that soup gets the avocado warm and melts that cheese, it is so good! The teriyaki bowls look great!

[@noreenvasquez6617]

I love your recipes! And how your always cooking for your husband it’s so cute. We need to bring back more family traditions.

[@cathynations7169]

I made a delicious red enchilada sauce that has incredible flavor. You can try it when you are unable to find the canned. ❤ 2 Tbls All Purpose flour 2 Tbls. Olive Oil 1 Tbls chili powder (more if you prefer spicy up to 4 Tbls.) 1 tsp. Onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp cumin 1/4 tsp oregano 1 pinch of sugar 2 Tbls. Butter 2 1/4 cups chicken broth 2 Tbls. Tomato paste Make a roux by adding flour to olive oil and whisking together over medium high heat for 1 minute. Add in spices. Whisk for 30 seconds. Add in chicken broth and blend well for about a min. Add in tomato paste and butter and blend together well. Let simmer on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. I poured it into a glass measuring cup for easy pouring. It is so full of flavor. 😋

That 'plate bowl' is actually a soup bowl. We rarely use ours for soup and plate bowl is a better description, I like it. Can't wait to make that soup! TY Mandy

[@lisaredwine4857]

Could also be a pasta bowl - that's what I thought they were.

[@bonniepwtf]

Definitely going to make the first meal. I wanted to remember to thank you for putting where the different recipes start & stop in the playback of your videos. It is so helpful when going back to rewatch, I appreciate the effort & I wish more people would do that.💟

[@babigrl38]

FYI freeze the velveta for about 10 or 15 min it makes it easier to cut

[@marthamartyn251]

I keep white, black and tricolor peppercorns in grinders next to my stove. They are different and all good. Funny thing is that I am not a big fan of pepper in general. White is my favorite.

[@FutureMrsWarwick]

I'm in it for Steven's reactions at this point. LOL He's so sweet. I wonder if he's that nice IRL.

[@shocksemler8145]

When they’re in season you can make fresh cranberry sauce to go with the lazy chicken and dressing. Thank you Mandy. We love you here in Texas❤️❤️

Oh, those looked amazing, can't wait to try the soup and the stuffing recipes, since I'm working 12-hour shifts at the hospital I can prep them before I go to bed, put the crockpot on before I leave for work, and when I get home dinner would be ready and I can rest easy.

Great subbie supper recipe. Great for empty nesters thks giving dinner 💡.

[@maryswift6014]

I just ordered the cheese shredder! So needed in my house. We love the Auntie No No's and yes the chopper too! I watched y'all with these items for sometime to see how wonderful they needed to be for me to get! Y'all use that shredder with such ease that I believe it will fit in just right in my kitchen. I can't wait to cook us up some supper 😉 Mandy your channel is making supper time fun again!

Yes, cheese shredders just like Mandy's available at Amazon!

This is Stephanie and we are having the chicken stuffing dinner tonight!! I am excited to also say that we tried the Auntie NoNos everything seasoning and we are hooked!!! Thank you for the suggestion. I did the buy 3 with the discount code. We will be trying the firecracker and the seafood this week. Can't wait. PS I've always used white pepper with more bold flavors like Asian, spicy, and bold flavored rubs. I use black pepper on most everything else.

[@laurensteenkamp7693]

Believe me, you might be experiencing some shortages in the U.S but it is likely about a tenth as bad as the shortages will be here in the UK by Christmas. Think how bad things were at the start of the global lockdown last year, who 'knew' that voting to leave a large georegional group would basically decimate the National/ International haulage system

[@KatWrangler]

I make the crockpot chicken, with pork chops. I also add a can of cream soup (mushroom or celery, whatever I have on hand. The meat, I keep intact. I serve with rice or mashed potatoes and a veggie.

[@sandragrowe3554]

I wanted to tell you I recently tried the Auntie Nono’s original. Holy smokes that is the best seasoning I’ve ever had. I am putting it on everything. I’m sorry I didn’t purchase the other 2 flavors. I may go ahead and buy the Firecracker since you use it a lot as well. Wow wow and wow!!!! Love it!

[@heatherthompson8878]

What's auntie nano seasoning

[@sandragrowe3554]

@@heatherthompson8878 it’s a seasoning that Mandy uses all of the time. I decided to try it. It’s a seasoning blend which has various flavors. I have the one called Everything Seasoning. It has sea salt, garlic, onion, spices, rice hulls & soybean oil. I’m surprised you haven’t noticed her using it. She loves it. They have other seasons too. Check it out on Amazon. They have Firecracker & Seafood seasoning. I tried this one first. It’s Auntie Nono’s.

Just made chicken and stuffing in my Crockpot yesterday! 🍂 🍁

[@becki_booo]

Those turkey teriyaki rice bowls looked so delish I ran out to get the ingredients to make it last night and I got home and realized I forgot the broccoli! I got so excited over fresh green beans that I forgot the broccoli. I almost didn't make it but I figured it might be just as good with green beans so I used those instead. I also doubled the recipe so I could have some to freeze. I work third shift so I like having stuff I can just heat up before work. I added mushrooms to mine and some red pepper flakes and maybe a bit more garlic too and WOW (lol) it was SO GOOD! I put some crunchy lo mein noodles on top as well. I think this is prob my new fav recipe!! I love any sort of asian food so this was def a winner!

Your hair looks so cute pulled back the way you had it done on the third meal! I don’t do Chinese food so I probably won’t be making that dish but the others look so delicious! Now, if somebody cooked that Chinese dish and said here taste this, I’m sure I would try it. Thanks for sharing these recipes Mandy!

[@JustLyn1981]

So I just googled it and this is what it says Freshly ground black pepper is often described as hot, floral, and pungent. White pepper has a less pungent heat due to the chemicals that are stripped away when the skin is removed. At the same time, allowing the berries to fully ripen and ferment results in white pepper's more complex, earthy flavor.

[@marksugerman3989]

I never buy ground Turkey but that dish looks delicious!

[@angelaworley8839]

my aunt worked in the school system for 20+ years.. white pepper adds a bit of spice bite with a milder flavor than the black.. which has more flavor than bite. white pepper can be used in things like grits and cornbread stuffing things that you don't want to see the black specks.

[@mariat3276]

Thank you! You all are just too cute! 😂 and make me enjoy the recipes even more. 🤗 Going to try all three recipes!

[@jenniferandersen3646]

I make something similar to the teryaki bowl you made. I use zucchini in mine and water chestnuts just for bulk. I also use ground pork rather than turkey. But it's a favorite here as well! My family likes when I make a spicy mayo to drizzle over it. The soup looked interesting. I may have to try that!

[@Daphne-cp8ss]

We learned in home ec in school white pepper is usually used in white foods like potatoes or bechamel sauce.
