Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken Penne
- This is a recipe that requires a little bit of prep-time, but it is SO worth it!
- I used Cheddar instead of American cheese like the original recipe calls for, so if you want to mix it up, you can try it with American too!
- I used Cassie (my casserole crock pot). While she is only a 3.5-quart crock pot, she is designed to let things be spread out, so if you are using a regular crock pot, I would advise using a 5-6 quart.

Loved it!! But I would love it even more if it could be adapted to use uncooked pasta. (Then it would get the 5 th star ;). I totally love the recipes that call for uncooked pasta. I am all about quick,easy, and no precooking as little as possible.
