I can give you amounts. The Nesco has side heat, not good for sauteing meat, onions. The Hamilton Beach and Rival have bottom heat, better for that part, not as good for the casserole part. You will have to adapt your cooking to the particular roaster.


This will make just 50 1 cup portions, light on the noodles. If this is a hungry crowd, or self serve, you would increase from 10-50 percent more. 1 cup is not a large serving!

12 pounds chicken, cubed or shredded
2 1/2 pounds onions
These need to be cooked. You can use canned chicken, or simmer chicken and onions in some of the water you are going to use to make the gravy.

3 quarts thick well-seasoned gravy, mixed with 1 quart milk (uses about 4 cups of flour total, 2 cups butter or chicken fat)
2 tablespoons crushed not powdered dried green herbs, or to taste
1 tablespoon salt, 1/2 tablespoon pepper
This is made like any thick white sauce, better by far if you use real chicken stock or broth, not water.

2 1/2 pounds noodles, cooked just done and drained

You put the gravy/sauce into the roaster, bring to a simmer, add the cooked noodles and the cooked chicken and onion, stir well.
Heat to a simmer, using about 300-325 on the roaster. Then when everything is added, heat for an additional 35-40 minutes covered at 325, until temp in the middle is 165 degrees.

Turn roaster to 180 to hold.

Topping
2 cups crispy something (for a roaster, french fried onions sprinkled on shortly before serving are a good choice, since nothing gets crisp in a roaster)
mixed with 1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or Parmesan cheese
Put on about 10 minutes before serving.

I need amounts of chicken, broth, cream of chicken soup and noodles for electric roaster. We are having a benefit Chicken Noodle Dinner with mashed potatoes for approximately 120 people. Any ideas?

Krystal. will the recipe above work for you? You can use cream soup, diluted with some milk, in place of the gravy. You would do 2 to 2 1/2 times the amount above, two roasters, they need to be on different electric circuits o they will blow the circuits and shut off.

No, you do not add water between the roaster and the cooking pan, it is not a chafing dish.

These appliances basically are something like a slow cooker with a metal pan instead of crockery, which can be turned up to normal oven heats. You preheat for 20 minutes just like a regular oven. You cook with the lid on, as each time you remove it, the heat drops and you add to the cooking time. They can be used as a dry oven (they do NOT dry out or crisp up food like a regular oven) or a gigantic cooking pot.

The Nesco has side heat, not good for sauteing meat, onions. The Hamilton Beach and Rival have bottom heat, better for that part, not as good for the casserole part. You will have to adapt your cooking to the particular roaster.

About how long does it take to bring the gravy to a simmer?

About 25 minutes in a preheated oven if it is just made, longer if cold. Add additional cooking time, up to 1/2 hour, when you add the chicken and noodles, if they are not hot/ just cooked.

Hi, you can do this by using the roaster as a giant slow cooker. Look up "slow cooker" "chicken soup" all one line on a google search for many recipes.

However, the Nesco roaster has a classic recipe for chicken rice soup on their website:
www.nesco.com/recipes/?category%5B%5D=700&submit=recipe&uid=046c56c4c93f

You can substitute 6 ounces of noodles for the rice.

This serves 8, you can double it in the same roaster.

If I wanted to serve these chicken and noodles for a self serve funeral meal, how many recipes should I make? We normally have salad and dessert a hot vegetable and I would add mashed potatoes too.

Thanks
