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% milk: 2 cups
- condensed cream of mushroom soup (such as Campbell's®): 1 can (10.5 ounce can)
- garlic: 2 clove (diced)
- tuna: 1 can (5 ounce can)
- mild Cheddar cheese: 1 cup (shredded)
- fresh mushrooms: 1 cup (chopped)
- ounces uncooked macaroni pasta: 8 piece
- salt and ground black pepper: (to taste)
