How to Make Sausage Cheesy Penne in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
This amazing Crock Pot Sausage Cheesy Penne recipe came about when Crock Posse Member Rhonda F. suggested adding sliced sausage to our Crock Pot Cheesy Rotini. The switch from rotini to penne was not out of a conscious decision, but out of necessity. The grocery store did not have rotini in stock, but they did have penne. So there ya have it! So no matter what pasta you want to try out or might be your favorite, I am guessing it will be a delicious treat for you and the ones you love!
This is a fun recipe for the kids to get involved with in the kitchen as well. My oldest is really showing an interest in learning how to cook. So he helped out with slicing the butter and placing it in the microwave (I still handle the controls, but I do let him place it in the microwave.)
