I just pair it with a yummy Wedge Salad and BINGO an easy dinner.With summer just around the corner I will be using the CrockPots more often. No sense in heating up the kitchen by turning on the oven.

Next time you are looking to have a easy dinner idea, consider this CrockPot Pasta bake Recipe. I think it’s going to be great to toss together as a side dish for a grill out too! I was really worried about the noodles not cooking, etc when I made this the first time. It came out perfect with no issues with the noodles being undercooked. I did get some slight browning on the one edge of this specific time I made it. I just removed a few piece (I had a hot spot in my crockpot) and it was GREAT! My hubby has been amazed every time I make this as it is so simple and turns out great.
