All right, y’all. We dump in one large jar of Rayos marinara sauce at the bottom of our crock pot. Now, y’all, I have a box of uncooked ziti. So, we’re going to put about half of this mixture right on top of our sauce. All right, half or so. That looks great. All right, y’all. Now, we’re going to move this a little bit. I have another bowl here. All right, y’all. So, in this little bowl, I’m going to put two eggs. I’m going to try and make sure this one doesn’t go anywhere. two eggs. And then I also have a 15 oz container of ricotta cheese. All right. So y’all, it’s summer time here in Las Vegas. It’s been hot lately. So time to use the crock pot, y’all, so we don’t heat up the house. Okay. Now to this, we also going to add a little bit of garlic powder. We’re going to add a little bit of oregano. Uh we’re going to add a little bit of I have a Parmesan Romano blend. So, we’re going to add about I don’t know about 3/4 of a cup. And then, y’all, I also have some chopped fresh basil. I think this makes it taste so good. So, we’re going to give this all a little mix. Okay, y’all. So, now we’re going to take uh some of this ricotta mixture and we’re going to put it on top of our dry pasta and our sauce. All right. We’re going to use about half of it right here. All right. Just like so. Now, y’all, we going to put the rest of our pasta. Okay. Okay, we’re going to put the rest of our uh No, actually, y’all. Now, I also have a container of crushed tomatoes. Um this kind has roasted garlic and herb. So, we’re going to use uh we’re going to use about half of this. Okay. So, I like using the blend of the crushed tomatoes and the marinara. We use probably like 2/3. Um but y’all can do whatever you’d like. Now, we’re going to put the rest of our ricotta mixture on top. All right, y’all. We’re going to make sure we get it all out of here. rest of this on top. That looks so good. Okay, y’all. Let me see what else we have here. All right, so now we’re going to give this a mix. All right, so we’re going to mix everything together. The dry pasta. Make sure you do spray your crock pot first with the dry pasta, the ricotta cheese, and that’s it. So, if y’all just want to dump it in and do it, you can. But I like to do it in layers because it looks pretty. All right, we’re going to mix in some mozzar mozzarella cheese first. All right, so about a cup. We’re going to mix in um we have some of the Parmesan Romano blend. So, we’re going to put about a cup of that on top. All right. Then, we’re going to put about a cup of mozzarella shredded on top. All right, y’all. So, we’re going to set our crock pot on a low. And this should cook in about 3 hours or so. Um y’all are going to love this easy baked ziti in the crock pot. I’m so excited. All right, y’all. So, this has been cooking on low for about 3 hours.

Um, and y’all, you know what I was thinking about doing? I don’t know if y’all would be interested in seeing, but I was thinking about doing a live stream, like a long one on my YouTube channel.
