This slow-cooker favorite is simple, comforting, and consistently delicious. There are many variations, but this version is one we return to again and again. The creamy sauce pairs beautifully with rice or pasta, making it an easy weeknight go-to.
If you prefer, swap the Italian dressing mix for a packet of ranch seasoning for a different but equally tasty flavor. Serve over rice for a classic presentation or try bowtie pasta for a fun twist.
