    Crockpot Mac & Cheese Recipe

    Ingredients:

    16 oz elbow macaroni (I prefer whole-wheat but any kind works)
    4 cups shredded colby/jack cheese
    4 cups diced Velveeta
    2 cans evaporated milk
    3 cups milk
    4 eggs (optional)
    2 tsp. salt
    1 tsp ground mustard powder (optional)
    1 tsp white pepper

    Mix milks, seasonings and eggs in a large mixing bowl (note: using the eggs will make the final product more custard-like, without the eggs, it will be more creamy)

    Stir in the cheeses and uncooked macaroni.

    Spray the crock of a large-size slow-cooker with vegetable spray. Put macaroni mixture into the crock and cook on low for 5 hours, or on high for 2 -1/2 to 3 hours. Stir occasionally.

    During the last hour of cooking, to make a one-dish meal, I stir in browned ground beef or turkey, diced ham, cooked keilbassa or smoked sausage and/or some drained diced canned tomatoes, cooked green beans, broccoli florettes, mixed veges, green chilis - the possibilities are endless

    Enjoy!

            I made this on Monday and it was so delicious. My silly dcks and even my own were like, ewwww.... Much too used to boxed Annie's! But DH and I gobbled it all up!

            I would like to find a substitute for the Velvetta tho as we don't usually use highly processed food in our house.

                I bet you could substitute pureed squash or cauliflower for the eggs...i do this with my normal recipe and add it to it...it makes it seem super cheesy...
