When I first saw this recipe, I thought it looked great. Then on closer inspection, I had a few doubts: 1) I always thought that slow cookers need very little liquid, so wondered about the 3 cans of chicken broth, that's a lot of liquid on top of the can of mushroom soup. 2) Didn't like the thought of my lovely fresh mushrooms stewing away to nothing for 8-10 hours, why not add them 30-45 minutes before the end?
Also need to be very careful with the added seasoning as most of the (canned) ingredients are already heavily seasoned.
I honestly wonder if this is really a tried and true recipe and if anyone has tried it and found it good?
I notice the question about the flour has gone unanswered for a while.
This is a tried and true recipe at our house for sure! All the liquid makes such a wonderful gravy. And yes, it would certainly work fine to add the mushrooms at the very end. I will look back at the questions and try to answer any there. I have been working on learning a new comment program.....it's a learning curve to get everything approved and answered. :).
Can you use regular flour in this recipe?
