How to Make Cheesy Rotini for Two in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

Since we use the double broiler method when making this Cheesy Crock Pot Rotini for Two, you can use anything from a 2.5 Quart Slow Cooker to 6 Quart Slow Cooker. You will just want to make sure the heat safe bowl you are using in the insert will allow the lid to close and can hold all your ingredients while being stirred. If you are using a 6 Quart Crock Pot, I would recommend using a bowl that best fits the ingredients and not the largest bowl you can fit in your slow cooker.

While I love how this recipe can be made in a variety of different slow cookers, what I really love about this dish is how creamy and flavorful it is. It really is one of those perfect comfort foods that are great to enjoy after a long day.

(If this recipe sounds delicious to you, but you need to feed more than two people, you can find the original recipe with 10 to 12 servings here.)

What You Will Need for Cheesy Crock Pot Rotini for Two

Ingredients Needed

1/2 cup half and half

Small to medium saucepan
Strainer (I love my on pot strainer. It fits everything from my large skillet to my small saucepans.)

Small heat safe bowl that fits inside the insert of your slow cooker with the lid on
2.5 Quart Crock Pot, 3 Quart Crock Pot, 4 Quart Crock Pot or 6 Quart Crock Pot

As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
