that lady that walks back and forth while Howard is explaining how the item is cooked, is very distracting...

First of all I want to say that my mom and I watch Mr.Food and Kelly everyday on our 530 news and the original Mr.Food pick the perfect person to do the show for him.We love you guy's..........My question is can I make this in the crock-pot and just add the noodles at the end? This sounds and looks sooooooooo good.

Hi there! We are so glad to hear you're such an avid Mr. Food fan! Thank you so much for tuning in. As for the recipe, you can definitely make it in a crock pot. Add the noddles, uncooked, in with all the ingredients in the beginning of the recipe. Cook on low heat for 3-4 hours on high heat for 1.5 - 2 hours, or until noodles or tender. Don't top with cheese until the last 15 minutes of cooking. We hope you enjoy! :D
