Love & Best Dishes - Creamy Macaroni and Cheese Recipe _ Crockpot Mac and Cheese

Hey , y'all , come on in the kitchen with us because we're gonna have a good time today .

I'm gonna be sharing with y'all such an easy , excuse me , such an easy macaroni and cheese because we're gonna cook it in our crock pot .

But before we start cooking , I want to talk about Michael a little bit .

Uh You know , Michael tried for eight years in a row in uh Key West to become a Papa and the Papa Hemingway Society .

Yeah .

And it became a look alike contest .

Well , uh Michael's just real proud of that .

So , uh when he finally won in 18 , in 2018 , he became a judge .

And uh so today this morning he came in from work and he said , you know , my buddy's here .

Uh and guess what his name is ?

It's David Hemingway .

So David and Michael , y'all get up .

You let everybody see you .

And this is Susan .

So she's a mom to his father .

So y'all , yeah .

Come over here , David .

This is a popular thing .

Uh-huh .

And of course , when your husband wins , you become a mama .

Well , I've been a mama for a long time .

So Susan , nothing So I was just tickled when Mike told me that they were gonna ride out to the house .

They Michael met him down at the lady and sons , uh , a little earlier today and told him to come on , Paula's home .

She's filming .

So we're getting ready for the mid year reunion .

Right ?

Tomorrow .

Yeah , tomorrow .

That's , that's why y'all are down here because you're on the way to and Michael , you're leaving when tomorrow And I'm , I'm working Friday night .

Don't be blowing in my hair .

I'm , uh , judging something here in Savannah Friday night .

But Eddie's gonna get up Saturday morning early and bring me to Friday night .

No , I don't get through till like 10 .

Ok .

Bye y'all .

Bye .

See you .

Good luck with them , Susan .

All right .

So I'm gonna share with y'all .

Uh , this easy recipe .

It's just really a dump and stirring , cook for three hours on low .

So , let's see , I'm gonna start with four tablespoons of butter and I'm gonna throw in 2.5 cups of grated cheddar cheese and then I'm gonna stir that together .

It'll take it a while to , to melt because I hadn't had the crop pot on very long .

So we've got our eggs , we've got our sour cream .

I'm gonna go ahead and add a half a cup of sour cream and you know , for this , for this .

I don't recommend light .

I mean , my goodness , we're talking about pasta .

So why we wanna eat macaroni and put in light cream cheese .

I don't , I don't get that .

So , and it , to me , it just makes a difference .

So I do the real deal on that .

And now I'm adding one can of cream of cheddar cheese soup .

You know , they , we get a lot of , a lot of stuff about using soups , canned soups , don't we ?

So , and down here in the south , but sometimes that's , that's all it's gonna do .

It's what's in my pantry as what ?

Yes , they're , they're great for casseroles and things like that .

Ok .

So it's starting to melt a little bit .

And now I'm gonna add one cup of milk and I'm using whole milk .

I have found that when Michelle comes over with our grandchildren , she always would ask me , do you have whole milk ?

I want my Children , you know , drinking whole milk because it's got everything in it that they need rather than some kind of diet .

All right .

So I'm adding a half a teaspoon of salt , a half a teaspoon of dried mustard , a half a teaspoon of black pepper and my three eggs .

Now , you would not want this super hot because your eggs would scramble .

They would become scrambled on you .

So this is working out great .

Oh , we're not gonna have scrambled eggs .

And then , um , what do we start with two cups of macaroni to two cups dried ?

Yes , which will yield you four cups cooked .

Ok .

This is looking good .

It's almost ready to , we're gonna have to move .

It's just not gonna work sitting on my stove .

I don't know why they put such short cords on these appliances .

Move it .

Yeah , that's kind of all stirred together .

Perfect .

And you're not gonna believe how good this is .

It's one of those no fails .

And you said it was Casey .

That makes it a lot .

I thought it was when we used to do the Thanksgiving at the office .

She would make it .

Yeah , that's right .

So we're gonna cover this moving out of our way .

It's gonna be ready in three hours .

Cooked on low .

OK ?

Our crock pot , macaroni and cheese is ready .

And um the recipe says to cook for three hours , but this was ready in two hours .

So I think a lot of it depends on the size of your crock pot .

This is a real big one which makes it have a thinner layer .

So at the very end , I just came in and sprinkled a little more cheese on top .

Just a pretty fat .

And I see that in , that's beautiful macaroni and cheese .

No effort .

So you can just take this out and take to your uh take to your covered dish supper and folks will love it .

They'll be asking you for the recipe .

So try not to burn your mouth off like I am .

It sounds good .

I think your Children will especially love this .

You know at our restaurants , we do a real southern macaroni and cheese with the eggs and it's baked and it becomes almost like a custard .

And uh this , this is just macaroni and cheese in it .

Yeah .

So enjoy your loving best dishes .
