Two-Cheeses Macaroni

I do apologize for not posting last night, as I was sick in bed and did not make anything for dinner! JD reported that he ate chicken nuggets and a peanut butter sandwich, so I can imagine he would've been more than thrilled with anything I had cooked! 

Tonight's recipe will (hopefully) be to die for! 
It sounds SO good, I can't wait to test it out!

Since I'm home from work today, I'll post the recipe in case anyone might want to try it along with me! It sounds very easy and only requires a little over 2 hours to cook! There's still plenty of time!

Two-Cheeses Macaroni

from Fix-It and Forget-It magazine 5-ingredient slow-cooker recipes (2010)

Makes 6 servings.

4- to 5-quart slow cooker

• 1 stick (1/2 cup butter), cut into pieces
  2 cups uncooked macaroni
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
• 24 oz. small-curd cottage cheese
• 2 1/2 cups boiling water

Place butter in bottom of slow cooker.  Add uncooked macaroni, 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, and cottage cheese. Stir together, until well mixed.

Pour boiling water over all. DO NOT STIR.

Cover and cook on high for 2 hours.

Stir Well. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese.

Let dish stand 10-15 minutes before serving, allowing sauce to thicken.

Easy, right?! I can't wait to see if it's any good!
Ok, so, I won't be trying it... My stomach still doesn't feel up to the challenge of dairy... but my parents will surely let me know how it turns out! Tonight, it's oatmeal and toast for this girl!

I regret to inform you that I was unable to sample the mac n' cheese myself, but my parents absolutely raved about it! My Mom was thrilled-- she said it was "SO creamy!" and My Dad devoured what was served to him and went for not only 2nds but for 3rd helpings! Apparently, it was a hit!

I just tried some of the leftovers, which is completely not like me at all... and I LOVED IT! I will definitely be making this recipe again! It was great! I am sad I didn't get to try it, hot, the first time around! 


Verdict: TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!
