Crock Pot Pizza Rigatoni

Made this for a family reunion several years back. Tasty stuff, but definitely something you'd want to save for occasions like family reunions, church potlucks--anything where there will be LOTS of people, because it makes a solid ton. This recipe, while tasty on its own, would certainly not be hurt by the addition of whatever pizza-type toppings you like!
