| When I saw that Emily was back to Embracing the Camera I just had to welcome her back with a little post of me and Jonathan This picture cracks me up We've got a lot of these wide-eyed pics of my sweet 8 year old right now Here we are in front of Okauchee Lake after a fun brunch with my family celebrating my Mom's retirement Happy Retirement, Mom! |
 |
| I know this picture is disturbing at first glance but settle down, you all it's just the ingredients for a carbo-licious meal of Macaroni and Cheese...Rock the Crock style |
 |
| To make this delish dish first you need to boil up 12 oz noodles (3/4 of 16 oz box) meanwhile, mix up 3 cups shredded cheddar (you'll need 1 more cup later) 13 oz can evaporated milk (or evaporate your own like I did) 1 1/2 cups milk 2 eggs 1 tsp salt, pinch of pepper add noodles when they are cooked and drained |
 |
| Optional add in: some cooked chicken to add protein to your carbo-loaded meal I'm feeding a crowd of hungry guys so I went for this added step! |
 |
| Spray the inside of your crock with some non-stick spray pour the mixture in and sprinkle cheese on top til your hearts content --this Wisconsin girl opted for an entire cup of cheese on top--- YUM Here's a summer tip for using the crock from my sister-in-law: Plug it in outside Now you're cooking dinner and not heating up your house at all How cool is that?! (get it.....cool....okay, moving on....) Rock your Crock on LOW for 3-4 hours (be watching the outside of the mac n' cheese....that's what gets crispy) The original recipe from Fix it and Forget it (which I've adapted) tells you not to remove the lid (but I remove mine to wipe off the condensation so it doesn't drip on my noodles...) |

| This is what Jon thinks of the yummyness (notice his temp tattoo from the school carnival. awesome) |
 |
| so I thought I'd sandwich this Rock the Crock post in a little embracing the camera with my oldest here we are at a Brewers Game which we got to enjoy in an air-conditioned suite thanks to my bro who got the whole fam the fat hook-up by throwing out the first pitch of the game I could really get used to baseball games in suites (that's pretty much the only way.....) have a super thursday to everyone who is stopping by! (don't forget to stop by Anderson fam crew to check out the other posts) |

ReplyDelete(PS my husband and I met in high school, too!)
I put my pot outside in the summer too! My kitchen is the warmest room in the house because of it's location and it really helps!!
ReplyDeleteMmmm..... now you've done it! I'm hungry :) I must add, my nephew (and his dad, quite honestly) are HUGE Brewers fans and would be totally jealous!
ReplyDeleteLOL! You just knew I bought pasta for Mac N Cheese, didn't you. Love seeing the family grow. We miss you guys!!
ReplyDeleteyou can evaporate milk YOURSELF??!! i need a crock pot. i don't even have one. isn't that sad? sometimes i think it may disqualify me from blogging. and now i want mac n cheese. and it's all your fault.
ReplyDeleteYum!! And, how fun to enjoy the game in air-conditioning! Great memories for sure!
ReplyDeletey'all are so cute!!
ReplyDeletei have made a few crock pot meals recently, but it hasn't been super hot much. your recipe looks great-my husband would eat mac&cheese every meal, every day if i let him! ha!
