Test Kitchen Tip:

  • To arrange uncooked noodles in an oval crock, place one noodle in center of crock. Cut or break off ends of 2 more noodles to fit beside the center noodle. Use the small pieces to place in the open areas. Repeat for each layer.
  • If you have a slow cooker with stove-top safe cookware, substitute the cookware for the skillet in the directions above. After browning and sautéing, place cookware in slow cooker base, cover and cook as directed in recipe.
