How to Make Baked Ziti in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

If you are looking to feed a crowd and have everyone rave about the delicious casserole you made, then this Crock Pot Baked Ziti is for you! It is packed full of flavor and is sure to fill you and your guests up.

If you don’t need quite so many servings, we have you covered. Let me explain how you can easily change the number of servings on our recipe card. Changing the number of servings will change the ingredient amounts to fit how many servings you need. Easy peasy! If you are on a laptop, you will hover your cursor over the blue number of servings. If you are on a smartphone, tap the blue servings number. Once you do this, a slide bar will appear. Drag the slide bar up or down until the blue number has changed to the desired number of servings. Click (or tap on a smartphone) off to the side of the slide bar after you have it on the number you want. The recipe card will now show you how much you need of each ingredient. With changing the recipe, you may need to adjust the size of slow cooker and should watch it closely the first time you make it to adjust the cooking time as needed.
