Slow Cooked
Mac & Cheese
Everyone’s childhood favorite.
An easy and quick one this time
that you can have started just
before Happy Hour and ready to serve a
wine or two or three later! Serves about
6 people, or recipe can be doubled for
those bigger rally potlucks.
Ingredients
• Cooking oil spray
• 2 cups milk
• 1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 2 cups pre-shredded cheddar cheese
(add some Parmesan for extra
cheesiness!)
• 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
Instructions
Use a 4-quart slow cooker for the basic
recipe. Spray the pot of the slow cooker
or if using a liner bag, spray the bag
well. In a mixing bowl whisk together
the milk, evaporated milk, egg, salt
and pepper. Pour milk mixture into the
crock pot. Add cheese and uncooked
macaroni. Stir gently to mix.
Mustard and/or paprika and chopped
bacon, sundried tomatoes, chorizo or
frozen or tinned peas and corn can also
be added to taste. Get creative!
Turn slow cooker on LOW and cook 2 – 3
hours, or until the sauce is set and the
macaroni is tender.
Warning: Do not cook more than 4 hours,
or the sides will begin to dry out.
Serve at once.
