  • 1 lb Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies (10 oz)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking into small pieces. Drain excess fat.
  • Season ground beef with salt and pepper, transfer to a slow cooker.
  • Add Velveeta, cream cheese, undrained Rotel tomatoes, and cream of chicken soup to the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally until cheeses are melted and sauce is smooth.
  • Cook bowtie pasta until al dente, drain.
  • Add cooked pasta to slow cooker, stir to coat in sauce.
  • Serve warm directly from the slow cooker.

Notes

Stir mixture occasionally in the slow cooker to prevent cheese from sticking.
For extra creamy sauce, add a splash of non-dairy milk or cream of mushroom soup.
Serve with garlic bread for added texture.
