Beans and Pasta
This meal had a GREAT flavor/taste! However, the pasta was mushy and the liquid had cooked down so it was definitely not a stew! OK, so I left it in the crockpot for 10 hours instead of the prescribed 5-6. I will definitely make this again. I will cook it less time (or add more broth) AND I will cook my pasta seperatly and add into the crockpot 15 minutes or so before serving....to avoid the mush factor!
