Pinterest has been the source of most of my inspiration when it comes to interesting food ideas. Some looked absolutely disgusting and I stayed far far away from those.

Here’s the first recipe I tried, crock pot mac and cheese. It was actually pretty good, I’m not usually a fan of homemade mac and cheese but this one was good.

Crock Pot Mac and Cheese
Makes 4-6 Servings
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
4 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
3 eggs (I omitted the eggs)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:

1 Boil the macaroni in water for six minutes. Drain.
2 In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts.
3 In slow cooker, combine cheese mixture and add the eggs (I omitted the eggs), sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper. Add the drained macaroni and stir again.
4 Cook on low for 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
So I mostly followed this recipe except for a few things

• Cooked noodles (I used rice pasta instead) for 6minutes and then drained
• Sprayed the pot lightly with spray oil
• Turned my 3-qt Crock Pot on High & melted the butter &cheese
• Was not completely melted when other ingredients were added
• Turned the pot to Low.
• Whisked all the other ingredients in a separate bowl first before adding them to the pot.
• In this order: 1 beaten egg, sour cream, spices (mustard, salt, pepper), cheddar soup, 1% milk.
• Added the noodles last.
• Was definitely ready to eat in 1 1/2 hours.
• Stirred it often.
