End of the Rainbow

Crock-Pot Mac n' Cheese

I've got a real treasure for you today, think of this as a New Year's gift from me to you. There's not much to discuss about this recipe, because it's darn close to perfection in a bowl. Mac n' Cheese cooked in the Crock-Pot. Need I say more? It's easy, amazingly delicious and pennies per serving.

When all of us are tired after a slew of holiday baking, what can be better than throwing some ingredients in a Crock-Pot with minimal effort and hours later eating something delicious? I made this for a large group and must have "taste tested" it a dozen times - it was that good. Add diced ham or broccoli and make this a meal!

I feel like a leprechaun at the end of a rainbow who found his little pot of gold. Cheesy metaphor...I know (no pun intended). Enjoy!

I've added this recipe to my stockpile of favorites. I'm super excited about the great taste, high quantity and low cost because I cook for large groups of people a lot (church, parties, potlucks, etc). I think it would be fun to have a "Mac n' Cheese" bar with lots of fixins': steamed veggies, bacon, parmesan bread crumbs, ground hamburger, whatever! Or serve it in plastic shot glasses at a party for a Mac n' Cheese Shooters appetizer.
