Questions & Reviews

  1. Betsy Eves - JavaCupcake.com says:
    Looks yummy! I'd be afraid that the pasta would get too mushy cooking that long? But it doesn't? YUM!
  2. Six Sisters says:
    No... Surprisingly it doesn't. The pasta turns out perfect!
  3. Orris Family says:
    If you buy the frozen tortellini, do you boil it first?
  4. Six Sisters says:
    Nope - just throw it in frozen!
  5. Peggy says:
    How big a bag of frozen tortellini? Our store has a few different sizes.
  7. lisajlukowski says:
    This recipe is currently in my crockpot as I type this! So excited to see how it turns out. I've never filled my pot that high before so I hope nothing goes wrong.

    I must also add that I absolutely love the recipes that you and your sisters post. Each time I make them I am so impressed and happy with how they turn out. I tell all my friends who get crockpots to check out your site! My new favorite is the Crock Pot Hawaiian BBQ Chicken. Not only is it easy (3 ingredients!) but it is delicious! My boyfriend even called it "excellent" when he tried some!

    Thanks for your nice comments Lisa! :) So glad you stop by our blog! Have a Happy New Year and we hope to hear more from you! -The Six Sisters
  9. Maureen says:
    Do you cook the chicken and then throw it in the crockpot for 4-6 hrs? It doesn't dry out?
  10. Cyd says:
    Yes, cook the chicken first and then cut it up. It doesn't dry out.
  11. Tara says:
    Mushy pasta and dry chicken. Pretty flavorless. You have so many great recipes on this site, but this is not one of them.
  12. Barbara Roj says:
    Followed the directions and the result was way too dense. Added a little broth tooB. Don't know what went wrong. Don't think I'll try the recipe again.
