I start with the raw eggs which I just beat in the crock pot instead of a separate vessel, then add the milks and finally the cheeses, cutting the Velveeta into the pot as I go. I put the slow cooker vessel on my 10 kilogram OXO scale and just add all the other ingredients to it directly, taring the balance between additions. I usually use a whole one lb box (454 g) of uncooked mac instead of the 250g called for in the recipe and maybe add a bit of extra cheese as well. When I make this, while the noodles are cooking. Note: I have added ingredient weights to the recipe. Cook, covered, on low until a thermometer reads at least 160°, 2 to 2-1/2 hours, stirring once. Cook macaroni according to package directions for al dente drain. I usually use elbows, but shells or other types work just as well.ģ cups uncooked elbow macaroni 250 g (I use 454 g, a whole 1 lb box usually)ġ package (16 ounces) process cheese (Velveeta), cubed 420 gramsĢ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend 150 gramsĢ cups shredded white cheddar cheese 250 gramsġ can (12 ounces) 364 grams evaporated milkģ/4 cup butter, melted 160 g (optional, I usually leave this out as it is already calorie dense, but it undoubtedly more unctuous with the added butter.)ġ. Get all the ingredients out and start a pot of water boiling for the macaroni. The recipe is simple and quick to get started in the cooker. I will be taking a pot of it to our family Thanksgiving this year as I have done for the past six or seven years. I am usually requested to bring this dish as it has proven to be quite popular. But I frequently take Jennifer Blondek's (Chicopee, MA) Potluck Mac and Cheese recipe on Taste of Home in the slow cooker to family gatherings, reunions, and other potluck meetings. How could creamy, cheesy pasta, usually finished with breadcrumbs on top, not be amazing? This recipe is the food memory I have with some added lusciousness and a little more flavor.We don't eat a lot of mac 'n cheese at home. We didn’t have homemade macaroni and cheese often either, but when we did, it was great. I assume she didn’t see the draw, and as a kid, I didn’t know if I was missing out or not. Instead, Mom was a frugal grocery shopper and didn’t purchase foods that were not necessary. In our family, we never had boxed macaroni & cheese.
I find that most food memories come from times derived while growing up. And I’ll admit it: the box has its place. I know there will always be boxed macaroni & cheese and those who love it.
And while baked macaroni & cheese is usually for adults, kids will love this too! A super flavorful baked macaroni & cheese recipe. This recipe for homemade macaroni & cheese is definitely not the same as the one from a box. It’s so much better! With a creamy texture and four different types of cheese, this is a simple and straightforward dish.
