Life is Short...

Make homemade Macaroni and Cheese!

So, I have been telling a few friends about this recipe and decided to post it her since it is so good. We got this from www.foodnetwork.com a while back and have made it multiple times. It is delicious and super easy. Here goes:

Creamy Macaroni and Cheese 12 servings
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni( aan 8 ounce box isn't quite 2 cups)
4 tablespoons butter cut into pieces
2.5 cups (about 10 ounces) grated sharp cheddar cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Boil the macaroni in a two quart saucepan in plenty of water until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain. In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Stir until cheese melts. In a slow cooker, combine cheese/butter mix and add the eggs, sour cream , soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper and stir well. Then add drained macaroni and stir again. Set the slow cooker on low setting and cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally

Okay, my notes..
I just mix it all in the crock pot, turn it on high and let it go for about an hour. If you need it quicker than 3 hours this works great. This macaroni is so yummy. I can't really stand to eat the box kind now. :) Try it out and let me know how you like it.
