Notes

You can also enjoy this meal without the noodles and serve over mash potatoes or rice. Using a slow cooker liner with this meal makes for easier clean up! 
Pair this meal with a side salad or steamed broccoli, fresh fruit and a crusty roll. Makes for an epic comfort food meal. 
Want to cut down on sodium, use reduced sodium condensed soup, make your own or use one can and substitute second can with 10 oz of water.
Crazy Busy Mama Tip: you can save 1/4 a cup of pasta water and add to slow cooker with noodles once they are cooked. Adding this starchy pasta water helps to combine all the flavors together.
