I’ve been trying to find more and more crockpot recipes this year. My intention was to try a new recipe each week but . . . that isn’t exactly happening. So my plan is to continue to research and try new crock pot recipes and to post when I do.   This recipe can easily be meatless and organic.

 

 Crockpot Macaroni and Cheese (serves 6)

 

 

2 cups of dry elbow macaroni

4 cups of liquid (I used evaporated milk, chicken broth, Campbells recipe starter and Campbells cream of celery–I use a combination of what I have available at the moment)

2 cups of cheese (I used colby and monteray blend)

Combine ingredients in a bowl and stir

 

 

Spray crockpot

Pour ingredients into crockpot

Cook on low for 4 hours.

 

 

My crockpot has 4, 6, 8, 10 hour options. I cooked the mac and cheese on the 8 hour setting for 4 hours and then unplugged the crockpot.   I used the round crockpot but if I doubled the recipe I would use the bigger oval crockpot.

 

 

I sprinkled some bacon bits on top and it was tasty.

 

 

Next time I might add some celery, carrots, carmelized onions, ham, bacon, red pepper or some combination.  The liquid can be any combination of evaporated milk, broth, 1 egg, cream soup, or sour cream.

 

 

Enjoy.
