on 6/18/2008 Ok, this was pretty good. It was also easy. I did end up adding about a cup and a half more water because my macaroni (not pre cooked) was not softening to my liking, and I added some mexican seasoning (Schilling) to it for a little more kick.

on 6/17/2008 Well, you COULD precook the noodles if you want. The water and 16 ounces of tomato sauce do a pretty good job of slow cooking them in the pot though. Whatever works best for you.

on 6/17/2008 You don't precook the macaroni? When I tried something similar to this in my crockpot with spaghetti I ended up making concrete. LOL. Let me know.
