We did our best to document our trip in photos.But I never did get a food pic! I was too busy chowing down! Here is our attempt at a selfie. Such a fun surprise! We were able to stay with the brother and sister-in-law of my friend and they were so lovely to host us! Blueberry pancakes and bacon for breakfast!!! And a lovely pre-race dinner made by her mom! Such a wonderful family! Now more about the weekend and the race! We were able to hit the road on Friday night and had such a fun drive even running into another one of our friends traveling with her family at a stop along the way. The whole family loved this and when I got home all the leftovers were gone too! Always the sign of a well received meal. The richness of all that cheese is balanced out with the garlicky chicken. You will also use a little cream cheese to help smooth it all out and add that little extra richness. I used a combo of sharp yellow cheddar and sharp white cheddar. Use any kind of cheese you like the most.
Very easy and so much better than boxed mac and cheese. So easy to make and so creamy and delicious and uses REAL cheese! You will cook the chicken all day with lots of garlic and broth and then during the last 30-60 minutes add in the noodles and cheese.
First I want to tell you about this mac and cheese I made for my family before I left so that they could have full bellies and leftovers. So good to get away and to spend more time with these lovely ladies! But more on that in a minute.
If not, just feel free to scroll on along and grab the recipe for this Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese with Garlic Chicken! If you are interested in taking a trip back in time with me check out the rest of the post.
This is the perfect family meal, and because my family loves it so much I thought it was time to update the recipe!! I originally shared back in May 2014 and a recipe that's still in rotation 3 years later certainly deserves some more love! I first made this on a weekend when some girlfriends and I hit the road for a little trip that just happened to involve running at half marathon the last day. Add garlic chicken to make it a filling meal the whole family will love. Just find the post for it.Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese is a simple and easy way to make totally homemade mac and cheese without a ton of work. *If you make this recipe please comment and rate the recipe below to let everyone know how it is, or tag me on Instagram! If you want to upload a photo you can do that on Pinterest. A great dish to make on the weekend and not during the weekday when you know you are home. The whole entire recipe is made in less than 3 hours. This is not a slow cooker recipe you can leave sitting in the pot for 6 hours. Just dump all the ingredients into the slow cooker.
You can skip step two which calls for melting the cheese and butter on a stovetop. I’ve made this plenty of times without the eggs and it is still phenomenal. Cook on low for 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.Īdding in the eggs is optional.In a slow cooker, combine cheese mixture and add the eggs (I omitted the eggs), sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper.In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese.Boil the macaroni in water for six minutes.
