macaroni and cheese
This is adapted from Fix It and Forget It - someone referred to the mac & cheese recipe in this cookbook in another thread - so sorry; I don't remember who it was! :O But it inspired me to try it and I did, but with significant adaptations. ;) It was SO GOOD I wanted to share it.
This serves 3-4 imo. It was enough for ds and me (I had 2 good servings) with lots left over. 4 oz. whole wheat macaroni elbows, cooked al dente 2 1/2 cups shredded medium or sharp cheddar 1/4-1/3 cup plain yogurt 3/4 cup milk (I used organic, 1%, lactose free) 1 egg 1/4 tsp. dry mustard 1/2 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. pepper Grease slow cooker with butter; mix all ingredients together reserving 3/4 cup cheese. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup over the macaroni mixture, cover and cook on low 3-4 hours without raising the lid or stirring. I started my crockpot on high for maybe 30 min., then turned it to low - it was ready in 2.5-3 hours and had nice brown edges. :) |

Re: macaroni and cheese
I'm trying to picture 4 oz of macaroni... How full did this fill the crockpot and what capacity is it? Would I have room to double it? Actually I think I'd need two crockpots full to have enough to go around but fortunately I have another slow cooker that could be going at the same time. It sounds really yummy if I can get it properly adjusted for quantity.

Re: macaroni and cheese
I have a kitchen scale and just weighed it first. :think You could measure all the cups in, say, an 8 oz. box and divide accordingly. It looked like about 1 1/2 cups dry, but I didn't measure; I only weighed it in a bowl. :think
The total recipe above made about 4 cups of mac and cheese, I'd say. Hope this helps!!! |

If it helps, the original recipe was supposed to feed 6 (I posted the half amounts) - but that may not include growing teenage boys. ;)
Enjoy!!!!! |

Re: macaroni and cheese
Yum! That sounds awesome! I'm always looking for new slowcooker recipes- so many of them seem to involve meat and cream of soup :rolleyes.
This sounds yummy, easy, and like something my family will actually EAT :tu. |
