CROCKPOT WEDNESDAY

I'm in hog heaven this week with the arrival of my newest cookbook THE CROCKIN' GIRLS SLOW COOKIN' COMPANION. It reminds me very much of the Pioneer Woman's cookbook; lots of great pictures of the food and family and very reader friendly. I've been reading it ever since it got here and I can hardly believe some of the dishes that can be done in the crockpot. I'll definitely be trying them and sharing them here on the blog. Today's recipe is a real family favorite.

ALL-DAY MAC AND CHEESE
8 ounces elbow macaroni
4 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 1/2 c. milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
In a large pot, cook the macaroni in boiling water 10 minutes or until done; drain.
In a large bowl, mix the cooked macaroni, 3 c. cheddar cheese, evaporated milk, milk, eggs, and salt and pepper. Transfer to a slow-cooker coated with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese. Cover and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours, or until the mixture is firm and golden around the edges. Do not remove the cover or stir the mixture until it is finished cooking.
