Updated: Mikey taped a Cooking Show for this dish.

Aunt Lou here.

I don’t know who was more excited about this recipe, me or the kids. They saw me taking photos of it in the crock pot, then plating it up and taking more photos. When I told them that they were going to have it for lunch, Ryder was literally jumping up and down with excitement! Iyla kept saying, “Yummy yummy!” over and over again. And truth be told, mommy couldn’t wait to dig in either!

I changed things up a bit on this recipe because I wanted it super creamy. My wish was fulfilled! And I added in the sprinkling of the Italian bread crumbs to see what it was like. The kids and I alike loved it with the additional flavor. If Italian bread crumbs are not up your alley, then feel free to leave them out.

Adapted from Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooker to the Rescue

Crock Pot Cheesy Rotini Ingredients

  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 10.75 oz can Cheddar cheese soup
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 16 oz pkg Velveeta (or half of a 32 oz pkg)

How to Make Crock Pot Cheesy Rotini in a Crock Pot

  • Pour your half-and-half, soup and melted butter into your 4-quart crock pot and stir until your soup is mixed in completely (I used Corky, Hamilton Beach Multi-Quart Slow Cooker, on the 4-quart setting)
  • Add in your cheese and rotini and stir
  • Cover and cook on low for 1.5-2.5 hours (mine was done right around an hour and a half) until your cheese is melted
  • If desired, sprinkle bread crumbs on top of each serving

    • Hi Graeme!

      It is half milk half light cream. I’ve also heard it called half cream. If you don’t have it available in Australia, you can google how to make substitutes. I promise you it will be worth the effort with how yummy this dish tastes! Enjoy!

    • Hi Jennifer!

      I haven’t tried it with uncooked rotini. The liquid amounts, as well as the time, would need to be tweaked in order for the pasta to cook. Without testing it, I don’t want to make recommendations as to what those tweaks would be. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes! Enjoy!

  3. Wow, this looks so delicious on my large tablet. Thank you for sharing this idea for us. Usually, coming up with what to cook is harder than the actual cooking

  4. Excellent! Made this Sunday and it tasted just like my MIL’s recipe. I always hated making it, though, because you had to stand over the stove and stir it non-stop so it didn’t burn. Very yummy, easy and no mess to clean up. Definitely a keeper!

    • Hi Marianne!

  7. I have a question I bought everything for the recipe, but do I have to cook in a crock pot. Can I use the top of the stove?
