Assembly Directions:
Cook macaroni according to package directions.
While macaroni is cooking, add soup, grated
cheeses, evaporated milk, and milk to crock-pot,
on low. Stir to combine. When macaroni is
cooked, drain and add to crock-pot. Stir to mix.
Cook on low 3 hours. Cool.
Freezing and Cooking Directions:
To Freeze: Put into freezer bags or rigid
containers, dividing it into appropriate serving
sizes for your family. Seal, label and freeze.
To Serve: Thaw. Spray a baking dish with
cooking spray, and put thawed macaroni in it.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until
heated through.
Variations:
Mexican Mac ‘n Cheese: Substitute Fiesta Nacho
Cheese condensed soup for the cheddar cheese
soup, and Pepper Jack cheese for the Extra-Sharp
Cheddar cheese. You can also add a can of
drained, chopped green chilies, if desired.
Broccoli Mac ‘n Cheese: Substitute Broccoli
Cheese condensed soup for the Cheddar Cheese
soup.
Main Dish: I have added a cup of cooked, chopped
chicken to make this a main dish for my family.
Comments:
I love all kinds of macaroni ‘n cheese! This is
the easiest and best I have ever made. Have it
going in the crock-pot on assembly day and you
can make several batches in a day.
