Instructions
Use a liner for the slow cooker if preferred.
Add in all of the ingredients in order, but do not add in the pasta.
Cook on low for 8 hours.
Add in the pasta in the last 30 minutes of cook time. Be sure to remove or set to warm after 30 minutes so that the pasta does not overcook. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve topped over cornbread or with crackers.
Notes
Remember that you do not add in the pasta until the final 30 minutes of cooking time. If they are added earlier they will swell up and soak up all the liquid.This can be frozen flat in the freezer in a freezer-safe storage bag or container and then reheated to serve. It would need to be defrosted then warmed up in the microwave.
