Mix together bread crumbs and parmesan cheese sprinkle over macaroni and cheese. Gently stir macaroni into cheese sauce and pour into ungreased 2 quart baking dish. So if you work an 8 hour day go ahead and throw it together and start the crockpot in the morning-it should still be fine when you get home. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted. I don’t think anything at all would happen to this recipe if it had to cook a few more hours. Everything in the ingredient list is a pantry staple for me, which means it is bought at the lowest possible price. There are ways to mitigate your cheese cost somewhat-such as paying attention to cost per ounce and shredding your own block cheese if necessary-but the fact of the matter is that the cost per serving is still pretty low. Remove from heat and add 2 cups of the cheese, stirring until melted. Continue to stir constantly until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5-8 minutes. Add the milk in a thin stream, stirring constantly with a whisk. *Note: The least frugal thing about this meal is it uses 4 cups of shredded cheese. With a wooden spoon or whisk, stir constantly for three minutes. Just don’t ask how many calories are in it. Just add a veggie and maybe some fresh bread, and you have a classic comfort meal. This recipe is great to take along to potlucks, to bring to a family who needs meals (sickness, new baby, just moving etc), or even to make while camping (assuming you have power of course).

Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours**-Do not stir, it will cook and firm up.Īlthough I personally didn’t do this, you can reserve out some cheese to sprinkle on the top and make a super cheesy layer, or you can mix up your favorite casserole topping (ie cracker crumbs and butter) and sprinkle that on top too.

Mix everything together and pour into Crockpot. Spray Crockpot with nonstick spray (or grease down, your choice). I also chucked in 2 TBS of wheat germ that I had on hand, no one even notice and I had upped the fiber content. Annie Jones, this ones for you There is a lady at Yankee Bill’s job who brings in Crockpot Mac. You could make your own powdered milk substitute. I am reposting this by request-it was originally published in December of 07. Sharp cheddar would have had a more intense flavor) I used only 3, and a mixture of taco cheese and cheddar, which was what I had in the fridge. I mixed 1/2 whole wheat and half regular elbows with the leftover spaghetti in the fridge. Elbows are classic, but you can use anything.
