Just didn't work out for me. I followed the directions exactly with the exception of adding some extra spices. It cooked on low for approx 9 hours and it was a mess. Noodles were way too soft, cheese was oily and stringy, sauce had all but evaporated. I was so disappointed, but it just had to go in the trash. I think some things are much better off baked!
