Are the shells cooked or raw when putting in crockpot?
They are raw!
Do you cook shells prior. I’m guessing no🤔
you do not!
Love! I have made this 3 times since your last insta story.
Is there a way to pin your recipes? I don’t see a pin button.
Let me look into that girl!
Yum! I am usually gone 8 hours during the day. If I left my crockpot on that long, would it burn the recipe? I see it says 4-5 hours to cook on low.
It shouldn’t! Your crockpot should have a warm setting on it once it’s finished cooking.
Could you make the “stuffing” the night before in order to make it go a little faster in the am??
I don’t see why not!
Do you think you could double the recipe and stack the shells to feed more people? At same cooking time?
I don’t see why not. Just up liquid and sauce so they don’t dry out.
Making these for my fam tonight! What kind of crockpot do you use? Mine is old and round and not coming to close to fitting all the shells. Thanks!
oh, the best one I’ve found. https://shopstyle.it/l/bac6G
Are the shells frozen or uncooked from a box?
Uncooked!
Hi! How “nearly” do the shells come out? Does it end up a jumbled mess or do they hold their shape?
They hold their shape pretty well!
Thanks – meant to say how “neatly” 😋
