Will not be repeating that method but am considering baking this recipe in the oven with pre-cooked noodles added to the other ingredients and putting it in a casserole, heating it just enough that it won't dry out. I know it won't be considered a crock pot recipe but since that did not work well for me Ziggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05209590426786482539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-89119209260351679762011-11-29T11:01:12.266-08:002011-11-29T11:01:12.266-08:00It's important to note that brown rice pasta d...It's important to note that brown rice pasta does have a longer cook time then regular pasta.

I didn't actually test the temperature.<BR/><BR/>But flipping on your crock for a minute or two before adding anything that has been cooked on the stove is a good idea. Especially if you keep your crockpot in a cold garage or closet.<BR/><BR/>Stephanie ODeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618710485017373256noreply@blogger.com
