More crock pot cooking...who doesn't love Mac N Cheese?

Well...I don't like cheese, so I guess I can answer ME..  My son, on the other hand, considers cheese a necessary item for life.  I have to admit I do wish I liked macaroni and cheese. Nothing quite says comfort food and memories of home like it.

That being said, I found a recipe for macaroni and cheese in the crock pot.  No boiling the noodles and mixing...just throw everything into the crock pot and let it work it's magic.

 Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese
Don't forget your crock pot liner!!!
1 box/bag of pasta - your choice (elbows, spirals, penne)
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
3 cups whole milk 
2 eggs
½-1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder


Mix all ingredients except 1/2 cup cheese in a slow cooker, then sprinkle
the remaining cheese on top.  Cover and cook on low for 5 hours.  

So now just imagine yourself coming home after a rough day full of classes or a stressful day of work.  You're tired, you're hungry.  The last thing you want to do is cook something; but wait, you don't have to cook.  The crock pot has done it for you!  Just dig into creamy cheesy goodness and forget about your cares for a while.
