Whenever we use slow cooker for our meals, the husband often volunteers for clean up duty. Most of the time, I forget to spray the pot with non-stick cooking spray so clean up is difficult. The husband is always there to the rescue! He always says that I have already done my part and it’s time for him to do his. Sometimes, we even ask our kids to help and they are always willing.
To reward them, I always give them a cookie to go with their night milk or even a small piece of chocolate.
See what our friends from Stock Piling Moms have to say about this recipe:
“I will have to say this cheesy pasta dish is good. It was also easy to prep and make. Plus it was in the slow cooker so it made clean up after dinner very easy. We had no left overs because my boys even had seconds, so all we had to do was rinse out the slow cooker.”
Simple dishes are our comfort food. And this is just off the roof! It’s a meal that I will always make if I want a simple but satisfying meal for the family.
