Slow Cooker Cheesy Bowtie Pasta
Ingredients (5 total):
12 oz uncooked bowtie pasta
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works great)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
2 cups milk
Optional: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning to taste
Instructions:
Prep the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside with non-stick cooking spray.
Add Ingredients: Dump the uncooked bowtie pasta into the slow cooker. Add the shredded chicken, shredded cheese (reserve a little for topping later), cream soup, and milk. Stir everything to combine.
Season: Add salt, pepper, and any extra seasonings you like.
Cook: Cover and cook on low for 2–3 hours, stirring halfway through. Check that the pasta is tender.
Finish: Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top, cover, and let it melt for 5–10 minutes before serving.
This gives you a creamy, cheesy pasta dish where the pasta cooks perfectly in the slow cooker without becoming mushy.
