Tip

Chopped Onion Substitute

When there’s no time to chop onions, onion powder is one option. Substitute 1 tablespoon of onion powder for one medium chopped onion. For the best onion flavor, use frozen chopped onions or dried minced onion (found in the spice aisle). One tablespoon of dried minced onion equals 1/4 cup minced raw onion.

I used 1 more big potato, the whole can of soup, increased the milk to 1 c. as well as the ham, used 1 heaping TBSP of dried minced onion and added a little more fliour. I couldn't see wasting 1/3 c of soup! It was delicious. I cooked it oh high for 4 hrs in my crockpot. Had enough leftover for my husband's lunch two days later.

Slow cooker for two seems a waste although it is great if you are going to be away for several hours and need it ready when you get home. However, next time I will just boil the potato ahead of time. Stir all the rest together, cook until the cheese melts, then add the potatoes until they are reheated and serve.

Hello, do you see the bowl and the spoon and you wonder why it is soupy? Is it any wonder why women complain about men not reading directions, the women can't change the directions to suit themselves. What is wrong with: "if you don't like it, don't fix it again" I can tell it is good by what is in the recipe. How many don't know that commercial soup is loaded with salt?

I made this this morning and it was very good! Didn't taste too salty at all. It was soupy, but I think that's the way it's supposed to be. It's an entree, not a side dish. I used cream of chicken but everything else was as listed in the recipe. Loved it and will definitely make again!

for GraminMaine you can substitute a brown pork chop that will give you good taste and dice it into the mix instead of ham, for the cream of celery soup you could taste reduced broth and cook some celery in it an add a t. of flour to thicken. That should really decrease the sodium.

I would love to try but my husband is on a 1,200 mg sodium diet and one serving has 1,534 mg more than his whole day. If cmarie_1124 finds a low sodium way of making this, I will be happy to try. I can't make any recipe that has more than 500 mg of sodium for the whole meal.

The sodium in this recipe is way too high. I would not use the dried onion because most of the sodium is in that and the ham. I would try using chicken and real onions. Takes me about 1 minute to chop and onion

When 1500mg of sodium is all anyone should have for the day, this recipe is NOT a keeper.

I have not tried this yet, but fully intend to when I go to the grocery store again. Alice, try covering an 8" square pan (or any small pan) with foil and bake it at 350 for one hour or until potatoes are fork tender.j

I don't have a slow cooker but would cook mine in the oven. What temperature & how long to bake is my question. this sounds so good! Alice
