Anyone cook this in a crock pot

Delicious, nutritious, and easy all in just ONE POT!!! The whole wheat pasta combined with the beans forms a complete protein. I used 1/4 cup of my homemade taco seasoning mix (there are many recipes on the web). One can certainly add salt and “heat” to taste. The cooked ingredients are “looser” than what one might be used to since there is very little to bind it all together. Adding more cheese is an option if desired. Thanks for a keeper and healthy recipe.

This is sooo amazing! I used water instead of Broth. And added red peppers and jalapeños 👌

Very yummy recipe! I added extra taco seasoning, eyeballed the amount of broth put in, and added ground beef and me and my husband are loving it!

This was ASTONISHINGLY easy. I thought it would turn into a Pinterest fail when I saw how little liquid there seemed to be, but it was PERFECT. I used gluten-free pasta (a chickpea-based one) and it was done within about 8 minutes, and the pasta held up really well. Definitely adding to the rotation for a quick weeknight/busy night recipe!

In reply to Kellie. I made this with ronzoni gluten free pasta. It ended up with more juice at the end of the listed time, but pasta is like a sponge. I let it sit off heat for ten minutes and it sucked up much more of the liquid. On a side note: I used a variety of paprikas and chili powder instead of the taco seasoning, also added 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast for that cheesy flavor as I am vegan and don't like the fake cheeses.

Thought I’d leave a few comments – the broth you use really matters in this recipe. I made it with the Trader Joes broth, which is really intense, so I would use half of a very strong broth and half water.

I also used diced canned tomatoes and fire roasted green chillies, and cajun seasoning instead of taco seasoning.

I’d say these adjustments worked very well… I would caution not to add extra salt because when I did, the dish became a bit unbearable.

Good job to the author, and I would recommend that whoever tries this recipe tries it in various forms before they find a mix that works best for them! Recipes like these are great for finishing up whatever you have on hand
