How to Make Cheesy Rotini in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
This Cheesy Crock Pot Rotini is actually a recipe I have made before. However, when I made it before, I used a 4 Quart Slow Cooker. I know many people just have a 6 Quart Slow Cooker, so I wanted to give this recipe a try using a 6 Quart Slow Cooker and the double broiler method. It worked beautifully!
One thing that is really important when you are using the double broiler method is to make sure that the water in your insert does not come up over halfway up the side of the bowl. If there is too much water, it could accidentally end up getting in the bowl with your recipe, and no one wants that! So, just always check to make sure that the water is just below halfway up the side of the bowl. Easy, peasy!
(If you would rather make this in a 4 Quart Slow Cooker, you can find that version of this recipe here.)
