Comfort Crockpot Mac And Cheese

That's what I call it around here. Because it is just so good right out of the crockpot - and it is, well, not the healthiest dish I make in this savvy home.

But it is good my friends, really good. So lets set the calories aside on this one. Promise? Ok.

I make it for parties we have here, and it is a crowd pleaser to say the least. Once in a while I make it for just our family - usually when Eric is out of town or we have a super busy week and need leftovers.

But just know, anytime is a good time to make it. Trust me.

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons of Oil
1 lb of macaroni
2 13 ounce cans of evaporated milk
3 cups of milk
2 teaspoons of salt
6 cups of cheddar cheese (I use sharp)
1/2 cup of melted butter

(I snagged the pic from this recipe site, my camera battery was dead. Please forgive me. This recipe came to us from my mother-in-law.)

Directions:

I spray the crockpot with cooking spray to help with the clean up, you don't have to though.
Put oil in the bottom of the crockpot
Cook pasta till almost done.
Then add all ingredients except butter and stir.
Add butter on top, do not mix.

Cook on High for 3-5 hours. I have found that the time can vary depending on how much time you have or need before its done. I have cooked it on low for longer amounts of time.

Alright, that's it! It's easy, and delicious. It does make a good amount, so I never double it, we always have lot's of leftovers.

Oh, and the kiddos loovvee it :).
