Rice Cooker Mac and Cheese

"I just got a Wolfgang Puck rice cooker from HSN and it came with a recipe book. I was surprised by the things that can be made besides rice. This is easier than opening a box of Kraft mac and cheese and sooooooooo much better too."

directions

  • Combine macaroni, broth and cream in Rice Cooker, press cook and stir occasionally.
  • When machine switches to keep warm, add remaining ingredients and stir thoroughly until all cheese is melted.
  • Press Cook again. The Rice Cooker will switch to keep warm after just a few minutes; this is the point where the cheese on the bottom turns that delicious brown. Serve.

  1. This was very good and easy to boot! The only problem that I had was that I had to add extra liquid while the macaroni was cooking....I suspect that my inexpensive rice cooker runs hot, though, so others may not have that problem. I also used 2% evaporated milk instead of the heavy cream, just because we try to make an effort to watch our fat intake and the cheese made it rich enough! A good, convenient recipe that was fun to try! Thanks, PA Cindy!
     
  2. I didn't have everything thing recipe called for and what I had I didn't have enough of. I used equal parts water, cheese, and pasta, then a half part of milk, and salt, pepper, and tabasco sauce for flavor. It was awesome and I only had one thing to clean when it was over. Plus I love making a personal size so there are no leftovers.
     
  3. Made this for the PARTY event. I used 2 tsp Chicken Base mixed with 1 1/2 cup of hot water instead of the broth, and because of this did NOT add any salt. Since I have been on a hunt for a really good Mac and Cheese my DGS would flip over, I have determined this is the easiest and BEST Mac and Cheese I have made. Thank You for posting this recipe.
     
  4. I made this for my grandkids that love my boiled pasta with just cheese, parmesan and seasoning added to it. I thought for sure it would be a hit plus fun to make with them too. All three of them said they didn't really care for it. I thought it was okay.
     
  5. While I still love my old fashioned baked Mac n cheese this is a great tasting, quick and easy substitute. I added a little cayenne pepper and used low fat canned milk as that was I had on hand. I loved that it fit perfectly in my small 6 cup rice cooker. Will definitely make this again especially on hot days when I don't want to turn on the oven.

  2. First time using Wolfgang's mini rice cooker, 3 cup. I had to cut recipe in half & make 2 batches to fit. On second half of recipe I added additional items to each half recipe: 1/4 cup milk, 1 tbsp. butter & pinch of freshly ground nutmeg and used slightly less pepper. This was delish !! Yummy !

  3. The amount of liquid in this recipe is a bit much for the Wolfgang Puck 3 cup rice cooker I cut the liquid down buy half a cup with the broth because when I checked it after the first cut cycle it was at the very top so I laid off about a half a cup they came out fantastic thank you for the great recipe.
