A while back, I made this Crock Pot Cheesy Rotini. It was a huge hit in this house! The kids wanted more than just a little sprinkling of the Italian bread crumbs though…and we love bacon, so it got me thinking! I bet you guys will enjoy this Italian Crock Pot Bacon Cheesy Rotini in your houses as much as we do!

Ingredients for Italian Crock Pot Bacon Cheesy Rotini
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 10.75 oz can Cheddar cheese soup
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 16 oz pkg Velveeta (or half of a 32 oz pkg)
- 16 oz box rotini pasta, cooked
- 12 oz pkg bacon, fried and crumbled
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups Italian bread crumbs
How to Make Italian Bacon 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 Cassie, my 9 x13 casserole slow cooker made by Crock Pot)
- Add in your cheese, bacon, garlic and rotini and stir
- Sprinkle bread crumbs all over the top
- Cover and cook on low for 1.5-2.5 hours until your cheese is melted
- Stir gently, but well so the bread crumbs and melted cheese are evenly distributed and serve
Italian Crock Pot Bacon Cheesy Rotini Notes:
- If you really like Italian bread crumbs (like we do around here), you can use 1 1/2 cups of the bread crumbs, but if you just want some, you can sprinkle on a cup or less. It is completely up to you! Whatever you think your family would like best! I love the flavoring that the bread crumbs give to this recipe!
- With two cloves of garlic, you get a nice addition to flavor, but if you absolutely love garlic, you could probably add another clove without it being overpowering.
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
