Same as bev below my comment.I too was making for a cinco de mayo theme dinner at our camp.And I came across this recipe in my box.I have been wanting to make this for a long time but never did.Wow you dont know what your missing... I made this exactly as written.I cut it into small bite size pieces ,and people were wishing I had made 2 pans.. So the very next day was my 1 yr anniv.So I asked hubby what he wanted me to bake.And he hands down wanted this again.So I made it again on sun.Shared with camp,and they were thrilled and they even got to have more that a bite size piece lol Only thing I did different was to melt butter for the topping and stir sug and cinn in and spread evenly on top . This would be great with some grilled apples and or baked apples.Easy enough to do while at camp .

overall taste was good.But with that being said I cooked it on low for 8 hours. high for that many hours would be way to hot for my crock pot.I also did not cut carrots into match sticks,i put whole baby carrots in.potatoes and carrots were perfectly cooked ,meat tender. would make again

just an fyi for anyone who is going to be making this. I am the submitter ,and when I make it I do make it with penne pasta.something a little thicker than elbows.And that way it wont be as mushy.You also have to watch it according to how fast your crockpot cooks it.mine is done in 3 hours ,so 4 to 5 hours is a guide. And if using elbows it will be done sooner.just wanted to share some tips :)
