Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Layer half of the noodles in slow cooker, breaking noodles and overlapping as necessary.
2

In small microwavable bowl, microwave cream cheese spread on High 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in soup until well blended. Pour half of soup mixture over noodles. Sprinkle with half of the Cheddar cheese.

Cover; cook on Low setting 4 to 5 hours.

Generally, pasta does not hold its shape well during slow cooking. However, no-boil lasagna noodles are an exception and make a good addition to this creamy cheese sauce. It's like eating macaroni and cheese with lasagna noodles instead of macaroni.
