Aunt Lou here.
Around this house, we love cheese. We love pasta. We love ham. And we all know we love our crock pots. So Crock Pot Cheesy Fettuccine just seems like a natural match for us!
Cheesy Ham Fettuccine
This Cheesy Ham Fettuccine sounded great from the get-go. Then I tasted it. Oh. My. Yum.
Actually, Michael tasted it first. I was chasing kids and asked as I ran through the kitchen how it tasted. His response? Well, he didn’t stop eating to respond. He just smiled great big, and I THINK the muffled response was “Mmmmhmmm. This is really good!”
It was a great twist on just regular fettuccine alfredo. I didn’t have any dijon mustard and the only thing in the world that Michael won’t eat is peas, so that is why they are “optional” in the recipe. I had everything else for this Cheesy Ham Fettuccine, so I didn’t want to hold off until I could get to the store to get mustard. It tasted great without it. So, that is your call.

Slow Cooker Recommendation
I used my trusty Hamilton Beach Programmable Insulated Slow Cooker for this Cheesy Ham Fettuccine. Since this recipe has a shorter cooking time, I loved the timer feature. As always, I love how easy clean up is with my favorite slow cooker.

First off, I love this website and the emails I get from you guys! Just a suggestion, though. When you print the recipes out, they do not include the number of servings even though you see them online. That would be helpful.
Thanks!
Thanks for the suggestion Debbie! We will look into it and see if that function is available!
