I LOVE soups, stews, one-pot meals, and anything that is remotely ooey-gooey in any capacity. Which means when the weather gets chilly, I become actually EXCITED TO COOK.
My cousin made this recently and loved it. It’s on my want-to-make list for this week.
https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/trisha-yearwood/crockpot-macaroni-and-cheese-recipe-2107509 my MIL made this crockpot Mac and cheese last Friday, and we are still eating it! It’s very good.
I made this on Sunday, with a couple of changes. I used more hamburger, like almost 2 lbs instead of 1 lb. A box and a half of macaroni, with enough water to cook it in, and then drained it. I used 24 oz. of shredded Mexican blend cheese (yes, the bagged stuff!) instead of Velveeta (and put even more on top with the bread crumbs). I put everything in a 13 x 9 foil pan (I had put the hamburger/pepper/onion mixture in there while cooking the macaroni, and layered the macaroni and cheese on top of it) and baked it in the oven for 40 minutes at 400 degrees, uncovered. It was GOOEY and DELICIOUS, and there are bunches of leftovers that taste even better warmed up later. Didn't cost that much to do either.
