I began making this recipe for mac and cheese a couple of years ago when a friend brought it to a church dinner. My kids all loved it and one of my daughters requested it that year for her birthday. I have been making it ever since then.
I do have other macaroni and cheese recipes that I make from scratch, but this one is still a favorite. It is easy to put together and a great meal to take to a get together.
This does contain cheese soup which I have been trying to stay away from. In fact I made this last week for the first time in awhile and my kids were thrilled to see it again.
I hope you give it a try.
Slow Cooked Macaroni and Cheese
1 package (16 ounces) elbow macaroni
1/2 cup stick margarine, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cheddar cheese soup, undiluted
1 cup milk
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker; add margarine. In a bowl, combine the eggs, evaporated milk, soup, milk and 4 cups cheese. Pour over macaroni mixture; stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. (this will vary by crockpot, mine takes about 3 hours)

I am sorry there is no picture today. I try to post pics of all my recipes, but I could not find one for this version of mac and cheese.

sounds yummy!! I look at things this way…if the majority of what we consume is healthy than a can of soup, or something here and there I’m okay with…I’m sure the stores like whole foods or trader joes might sell something….

Kirsten, that is what I think I have decided. If we have a mainly healthy diet I will be happy.I am sure a whole foods or such store would have something but for like 4 times the price.
