Has anyone ever made stuffed shells in a crockpot? Need a way to keep these warm and was thinking I could put them in a crockpot after assembly instead of baking them.

Absolutely delicious – much better than the recipe on the back of the pasta box that I used to make. I cut down on sugar a little and used some oregano in my sauce also. I had some shells left over without cheese mix left, so next time I’ll make more cheese mix and have left-overs. I used sweet Italian chicken sausage. We loved it. This makes it into our rotation. Thanks.

This is delicious. My boyfriend may or may not have eaten half of it in the course of a night. Super yummy. Thanks Ree!

I’ve made this numerous times for company, for a “drop off dinner” for friends in need…but I usually make it for just for my little family. This is my husbands favorite recipe! Thank you for such a great recipe Ree! My husband thinks I’m a rockstar in the kitchen now because of you!

I used ground beef as well and it was wonderful! I make the full batch and free 1/2 of it for another day.

I replaced the sausage and used ground beef (not big sausage people here). This is amazing! The entire family loved it!

These were good! I was very please with the result, and so were my picky eater kids! I’m now calorie-counting, but it’s still a good easy recipe if I just switch the sausage for ground chicken, use egg whites, and use skim ricotta instead of whole-milk. Granted, it’s not quite as divine, but still good all the same.

This isn’t a 30 minute meal, but it was delicious! My whole family loved it.

I made this last night and both my husband and I loved it. One thing I did to help with the time management of this dish was start the boiling water and shells first. then set up the sauce while the shells were going. Then I drained the shells and let them sit in the colander and cool a bit (bc hot pasta hurts) while I made the cheese mixture. Then since assembling the shells can take a little bit, instead of waiting for the sauce to be ready and spreading it in the dish first. I let the sauce continue to cook and grabbed a deviled egg dish and started filling the shells with the cheese mixture. the little egg nests in the plate are perfect for holding the curled up stuffed shells and then I can assemble all my shells while the sauce is cooking instead of having to wait and making the prep time longer.
