It has always come out very good! It is wonderful in the summer because I do not have to heat up the kitchen at all to make it..,I leave out the spinach because my husband won't touch any thing with spinach....it still tastes wonderful. The uncooked shells are pretty easy to stuff too, especially if you let the ricotta come to room temperature, but I have stuffed them with it right from the frig too.. There are usually 2 or 3 shells that are rolled too tightly to stuff so I break them in half and lay them on the top before pouring on the final jar of sauce. Sometimes I set the slow cooker on high for the first hour, then turn it to low. Also sometimes, I sprinkle a little browned hamburger or sausage over the shells before pouring on the last jar of pasta sauce for a little different flavor.This is a simple easy tasty meal that always pleases my family. One more thing... don't lift the lid during cooking time unless absolutely necessary.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2018-10-05","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"hbaseley"},"reviewBody":"This one was a disappointment for me. I found the uncooked shells hard to stuff (I had several in the package that were rolled to tight to stuff) and the mixture was so thick I couldn't use a bag to pipe in the tight shells. Also, I cooked it 5 hours on low and the shells were pretty mushy. Since it was layered (and mushy) and covered in sauce I had trouble telling how many shells I was dishing out to each person. It ended up in a glop on the plates. The flavor was just ok, but that was probably the sauce I used (Prego roasted garlic). So, this might be a great recipe for someone else, but I am going back to the traditional way of making it.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2018-06-03","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Guest8527"},"reviewBody":"I can't rate this yet.
