  • 1 block cream cheese 8 oz, cubed
Pasta

  • 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup 10.5 oz
Seasonings
  • Salt and pepper To taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.
  2. Cut the Velveeta cheese and cream cheese into cubes and set aside.
  3. Spray the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or lightly grease it.
Cooking
  1. Layer the cooked ground beef into the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Add the Velveeta cubes and cream cheese blocks on top of the beef.
  3. Pour the can of Rotel diced tomatoes (with juices) over the cheeses.
  4. Spoon the condensed cream of mushroom soup over the mixture. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 2-3 hours until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is creamy.
  6. Meanwhile, cook the bow tie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
Final Assembly
  1. When the slow cooker mixture is ready, stir everything together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the cooked pasta to the slow cooker and gently toss to coat the pasta evenly with the cheese sauce.
  3. Serve warm in bowls, garnished with chopped parsley or extra shredded cheese if desired.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove until heated through. You can use ground turkey or chicken for a healthier option, and add bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition.
