ingredients

  • 12 lb uncooked macaroni (I used a 1/2 bag of Trader Joe's Brown Rice fusilli) or 1/2 lb hearty pasta (I used a 1/2 bag of Trader Joe's Brown Rice fusilli)
  • 4 cups milk (I used skim cow's)
  • 1 egg (Alison's recipe calls for 2. I only had one in the house because we had company over the weekend and)
  • 4 cups shredded cheese (I used all cheddar)
  • 12 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 12 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried mustard
  • 6 slices bacon (optional)

directions

  • Spray crock well with cooking spray. In a mixing bowl, whip egg and milk together. Stir in spices.
  • Add cheese and noodles, and stir well to combine. Pour the mixture into the crock pot.
  • It will be very liquidy.
  • Cover and cook on low for 2-5 hours, or on high for 1-3. The cooking time will vary depending on what size crockpot you are using, and how quickly it heats and cooks. I was quite surprised at how quickly our pasta got fork-tender.

Questions & Replies

  1. When do you add the bacon?

Reviews

  1. I loved the flavor but my family wasn't a fan. I used whole wheat pasta and over cooked so maybe that didn't appeal to them. I thought it was great comfort food!
     
  2. Soooo easy all in one mix...the way I like it.<br/>The end product was very tasty. Will <br/>make this my Mac and Cheese recipe <br/>from now on.
     
  3. Made for Fall 09 PAC exactly per the recipe as given. This is really a great recipe for those busy days. The only thing I will do differently is add more cheese, or maybe even a sharp cheddar as we like a cheesier flavor. I am adding this to my potluck cookbook as well as it would be a great dish for occassions when kids are around.

We have been without an oven for almost two years now. Due to cost at first, but then it became a great challenge to cook yummy meals without it.I have always enjoyed cooking, but over the last few years living in England and the ridiculously small kitchens it took a back seat. We do have a toaster oven, a pizza cooker, microwave, three skillets, an electric burner and a couple of crock pots. So most of the recipes will be crock pot ones and none use an oven or if they do just insert toaster oven lol. <br>I have started a OAM cooking day at our church and we are having a great time and Yummy meals!
