This is a lighter side of my Bird's Famous Macaroni and Cheese and prepared in a slow cooker. I've reduced the calories down from 616, fat down from 38g, and carbs down from 44.5g. Ingredients:
1/4 cup reduced fat margarine, cut into pieces |
2 cups 2% low-fat milk |
1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese (mild) |
3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, room temperature |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly shredded (or romano mix) |
1 (12 ounce) can cheddar cheese soup |
2 eggs, beaten |
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream |
1 teaspoon ground mustard |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
8 ounces elbow macaroni, cooked |
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, mix margarine and milk. Add the cheeses and cheese soup until the cheeses melt.
2. Add the eggs, sour cream, mustard, salt, and pepper and stir well.
3. Add macaroni and stir again. Set the slow cooker on low setting and cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
