Mac/Cheese*Lemon/Blueberry Cookies*Amish Noodles

My oldest son, Doug… said, “This is the best macaroni/cheeses I’ve eaten!”…

OH YES!…

Don’t you just love it when someone is pleased with your cooking!…

I was trying a new recipe…

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 16oz bag of raw macaroni noodles
  • 3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8oz cream cheese
  • 2 1/2 cups of milk
  • 12oz of evaporated milk

First, toss the raw macaroni noodles into a slow cooker.

Then, add the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, milk, and evaporated milk.

Give everything a good stir and let it cook for a couple of hours.

That’s all it takes!

The recipe can be altered depending on your preferences. OnePotChef notes that he prefers cheddar cheese, but you can use any cheese you would like.

I would add a little more milk… and let cook slowly… stirring every now and then…

It was delicious!…
