Method

Step by step

  1. 01

    Spray 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray or use a crock pot liner.

  2. 02

    In 12-inch skillet, cook sausage, onions, mushrooms and garlic over medium heat about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink; drain.

  3. 03

    Stir in remaining ingredients, EXCEPT noodles and cheese.

  4. 04

    Place the uncooked pasta in a colander and run water over the pasta. This will add some moisture to help cook the noodles while in the slow cooker.

  5. 05

    Put a layer of sauce in the bottom of the slow cooker, layer the noodles, mozzarella cheese and repeat until all sause and noodles are gone.

  6. 06

    Cover. Cook on Low for 8 to 9 hours or on High for 3 to 4 hours.

  7. 07

    Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and turn to High for 30 minutes until cheese is melted!
