This is my go-to recipe to take to friends with a new baby, after surgery or just for fun. I had one new father tell me he went into a pasta coma after eating the casserole.
I never use the marinara as it comes in a jar, but add lots of Italian seasoning, fresh basil, fresh garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes.
This recipe is easily made keto friendly by using keto pasta.
Thank you Holly, for this great recipe

Even my super picky kid loved it. Adding it to our regular rotation. I did have to double the recipe though for my family of 6.

Instead of dotting half of the cream cheese on top of the casserole, I mixed it with the pasta after boiling it so the pasta is coated with the cream cheese and I layered the pasta on the bottom and put the meat mixture on top of it and topped with the mozz cheese. Just a variation but same ingredients. Loved it!!

HI Anita! I agree with you on this. I will experiment with more crock pot recipes that take longer to cook. šŸ™‚

Thank you for this reply. I would love to see more content for those of us who work away from home for 8-9 hours. Even many crockpot recipes cook for 4-6 hours and i feel like content creators could find a real niche if they curated things specifically for working moms

Very good, will make again. I added red pepper flakes for a little pop.

This is delicious, and it is easy and quick to prepare. I have made it meatless, as well as with the ground beef. Thank you for this recipe!
(I was able to find the cream cheese onion and chive.)

Question: Is the amount of penne pasta three cups dried, and then cooked,
or is it three cups after being cooked?

Would you possibly know the nutritional information on this dish? I also used protein pasta for an extra protein punch!

In reply to Keven.

I meant to leave 5 stars, so iā€™m leaving another comment. Making again tonight- it was delicious.

It was delicious, but so filling! Used Jimmy Dean hot sausage instead of ground beef, my spaghetti sauce is Newmans Own Sockarooni, and i added a few fresh mushrooms, sliced, while cooking the sausage and onions. Also, my cream cheese was 8 ozs, and i used it all.

Amazing recipe. So flavorful. I used veggie italian sausage instead of ground beef. How does this recipe not have 1000 five star reviews????
