1. Crockpot Mac and Cheese

This is mac and cheese the way country singer Trisha Yearwood does it, and it’ll knock your socks off. 

Filled with 20 whopping ounces of sharp cheddar cheese, this is a ridiculously creamy and cheesy mac and cheese that’s so good, it’s impossible to stop at one serving.

2. Slow Cooker Lasagna

This lasagna takes 4 to 5 hours to cook, and 4 to 5 minutes to devour. It’s a hearty and decadent dish guaranteed to disappear in a jiffy. 

With layers of meat sauce, cheese sauce, lasagna noodles, and grated cheese on top, it’s not difficult to understand why it’s so outrageously delicious.

3. Crockpot Tortellini

This tortellini dish is fully loaded with sausage, spinach, tomatoes, and cream cheese. It’s thick, creamy, and bursting with flavor.

It tastes like you worked hard on it, but you’ll hardly work on it at all.

In fact, just dump the ingredients in the pot, set it, and forget it. It’ll be ready when you are.

Pro-tip: you can transform the dish into soup by adding more broth.

Chicken Alfredo is another mouthwatering pasta dish that can turn any frown upside down.

A plate of this hearty dish will drive all your problems away.

And it’s one of those Crockpot chicken breast recipes you’ll turn to again and again.

5. Crockpot Cheesy Rotini

Perfectly firm and al dente rotini noodles are coated in a thick sauce made of cream, milk, cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, and sour cream, and sprinkled with parmesan to boot.

This is what I call cheese for days. My mouth is watering just staring at it. I think I know what I’m having for dinner!

6. Crockpot Lasagna Ravioli

It’s just like lasagna, but instead of lasagna noodles, you’ll use cheese-filled ravioli. It’s fun to switch things up from time to time!

I love the use of ravioli in this recipe because it’s like you’re getting two types of pasta in one dish.

It’s just as meaty and creamy as traditional lasagna, but with an added layer of cheese. 

7. Crockpot Million-Dollar Pasta

It’s called million-dollar pasta for a reason, and the reason is that it’s extremely rich and decadent.

Loaded with perfectly seasoned ground beef, marinara, and a medley of cheeses, the million-dollar pasta tastes like baked macaroni on steroids.

Coated with a rich, tomato-based sauce loaded with mozzarella and parmesan, this might just be your newest favorite dish.
