I couldn't find many slow cooker pasta recipes here that would cook the pasta along with everything else in the cooker. So this is a basic recipe that I made up, along the lines of my mama's stovetop tuna casserole, that can be tweaked by using different type of soup, vegetables, and pasta types as well as adding more or different cheeses, herbs, or spices. Super easy and even my 2-year-old ate it! It makes a very soft pasta, not al dente.
Ingredients
- nonstick cooking spray
- 2 cups 2% milk
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup , 10.5 ounce
- 2 cloves garlic , diced

Cinnamon Raisin Bread
This cinnamon raisin bread recipe was my dad's, and it's the best I've ever had! A yummy moist bread loaded with raisins and cinnamon. Great plain, toasted, or with a light glaze of buttercream frosting.
Easiest Sheet Pan Tacos
These are truly the easiest sheet pan tacos you will ever make. High temperature roasting on a sheet pan makes them crisp and golden, and the beef filling does not need pre-cooking. Try them—you'll be amazed. Top with your favorite taco toppings.
Thai Cucumber Salad
This Thai cucumber salad with cilantro and peanuts is very close to what you'd get at a Thai restaurant. I like to add jalapeños to balance the sweet and tangy rice wine vinegar dressing. It's always a hit at summer picnics since it doesn't need to be refrigerated.
