This time of year I rely heavily on my slow cooker and casserole recipes, due to ease and how well they fit into a busy schedule.

Another wonderful thing about this recipe is that it’s versatile, so add more or less cheese if you’d like {or a non-fat variety}.

You can also use other noodles of choice.

My kids gobble this casserole up, and my oldest asked for this one to replace other casseroles I make. It’s always a win when everyone in the family enjoys a meal!

  19. I made this last night and it’s absolutely delicious! So very easy to put together too, which was good because I didn’t really feel like cooking but needed to get something on the table.
    I didn’t have flavored cream cheese, only plain. I used mini farfalle pasta since that was all I had in the cabinets. Also I used the Italian blend shredded cheese, with a little extra on top. It fit nicely into a 2qt casserole dish.
