Slow Cooker Beef and Cheese Pasta recipe is the greatest crockpot recipe ever, according to my husband and boys! They loved, loved, loved this dinner meal. My husband had three servings! Which shocked me, but he was raving about how good it was. He said he wants it back on the menu again next week.
I will have to say this cheesy pasta dish is good. It was also easy to prep and make. Plus it was in the slow cooker so it made clean up after dinner very easy. We had no left overs because my boys even had seconds, so all we had to do was rinse out the slow cooker. I made sure to spray it with non stick cooking spray to make clean up easier. I would even recommend using a slow cooker liner to make it even easier. Because the cheese does get sticky. But it is oh so good and yummy!

Do you put the pasta in uncooked? Can the recipe be in the slow cooker for longer than 8 hours on low without suffering in the quality? before adding the pasta and other ingreds.

Yes. I am not sure about that one. It should be ok! Just be sure it doesn't dry out (I might add additional liquids).
