Great recipe! I didn't precook my shells, I just mixed them in. everything came out really creamy just how i wanted it too. It took almost 3 hours to cook, and left me plenty of time to make my potato salad. Very, very tasty. I really recommend this one! I did only use one egg and, about a cup less cheese. loved the half and half in there, made it taste perfect! Thanks to Dee for a winner! ;)

I followed this recipe completely. Pretty good, I didn't cook the pasta before putting in the crockpot & I would suggest pre-cooking it at least a bit to make sure they get nice & soft.
