Slow Cooker Creamy Ham Pasta Packets Directions:
Tear off 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each 12x12 inches.
If using regular foil, double-layer each sheet to prevent tearing.
Lightly crimp up the edges of each foil sheet to make a shallow bowl shape.
Divide the uncooked pasta evenly among the 4 foil sheets, placing 1/2 cup pasta in the center of each sheet.
Sprinkle 2 oz diced ham evenly over the pasta in each packet.
Pour 1/2 cup fat free half-and-half over the pasta and ham in each packet, moistening as much pasta as possible.
Top each packet with 1/2 cup shredded fat free cheddar cheese.
Bring the sides of the foil up and over the filling.
Fold the edges together tightly to seal, then fold and crimp the ends so no liquid can leak out.
Place all foil packets seam-side up into a 6-quart slow cooker.
Fit the packets in a single layer if possible; they may touch or lean against each other.
Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 hours, until the pasta is tender and the cheese and half-and-half form a creamy sauce.
Turn off the slow cooker and let the packets rest for 5 minutes.
Carefully lift the packets out with tongs.
Serve 1 foil packet per person on a plate.
Open carefully to release steam, then stir the pasta, ham, sauce, and cheese together with a fork before eating.
