Prep time: 15 mins Cook time: 3 hours 30 mins Total time: 3 hours 45 mins Serves: 6 Ingredients:
8 ounces medium shell macaroni |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 cup evaporated milk |
1/2 cup milk |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese or a cheddar blend |
4 tablespoons butter, melted |
Directions:
1. - Cook the macaroni following package directions. Drain in a colander and rinse with hot water. Drain well.
2. - Generously butter the sides and bottom of a 31/2- to 4-quart slow cooker (I use about 2 tablespoons of butter).
3. - Combine the macaroni with the remaining ingredients in the slow cooker and blend well. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 21/2 to 31/2 hours, stirring a few times.
4. - If desired, spoon the cooked macaroni and cheese mixture into a baking dish, sprinkle with a little more cheese, and put under the broiler for a minute or 2, just until cheese is melted.
5. - When the macaroni and cheese is done, feel free to spoon into a baking dish, top with a little more cheese, and put under the broiler for a minute or two for that “fresh from the oven” look.
