How To Make Easy Mac And Cheese In The Crock-Pot

This Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese takes minutes to put together and is full of FOUR kinds of cheese: Asiago, Sharp Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Gouda, which makes this the best holiday side dish!

The holidays are just about here and one menu item that always seems to be served at the family dinner table is Mac and Cheese. Why? Because it is amazing! This recipe is super easy to make. Simply add all your ingredients to your crock-pot and let it cook. Who doesn’t love that? Any ‘Set it and forget it” type meals I am all in.

Get started by spraying the inside of your crock-pot with cooking spray to keep all that yummy cheese and goodness from sticking to the sides of your crock-pot. Once you have done that, starting adding all your ingredients beginning with your pasta shells. We usually use Macaroni shaped pasta but today we are doing shells. (It is up to you on what you prefer.)

I don’t know about you but we enjoy Crystal Farm Cheese products. If you are able to purchase in a grocery store near you, you will be able to create this Mac and Cheese recipe exactly as we do.

Make sure you purchase Evaporated Milk while grocery shopping. Many people make the mistake of choosing Sweet Condensed Milk. You don’t want to do that. Once you have all your ingredients in the crock-pot, give it a quick stir and mix it all up. Easy, Right?! Cover and cook on LOW 2 hours. Stir, top with the additional 1/2 cup cheese and cook an additional 30 minutes (covered). Serve immediately for everyone to enjoy!

Ingredients

1 (16 oz) box macaroni uncooked
1 cup broth chicken or vegetable
1 cup half and half
2 (12 oz) cans evaporated milk
1 teaspoon salt more or less to taste

1/2 cup (2 oz) Crystal Farms Shredded Asiago
1 cup (4 oz) Crystal Farms Monterey Jack Cheese shredded
1 cup (4 oz) Crystal Farms Wisconsin Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded
1 cup (4 oz) Crystal Farms Gouda Cheese shredded

Instructions

Grease crockpot with cooking spray and combine macaroni, broth, half and half, milk, salt, and black pepper in crockpot.
In a separate bowl, combine all the shredded cheese.
Set aside 1/2 cup of the cheese in a smaller bowl and pour the rest into the crockpot.
Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on LOW 2 hours.
Stir, top with the additional 1/2 cup cheese and cook an additional 30 minutes (covered).
Serve immediately!

Recipe: How To Make Italian Beef Sandwiches

How To Make Italian Beef Sandwiches

Hi Everyone! We are back in the kitchen with the most delicious easy to make Italian Beef Sandwiches. We are loving the fall weather because that means it is crock-pot season. You all know how busy are lives are so any meal that is a one crock-pot wonder is perfect for me and my family. Grab your crock-pot and a few simple ingredients for a homemade meal that everyone will be asking for more.

Simplicity is key in a busy household!

Prep time only takes a few minutes and you are well on your way to a satisfying meal.

These ingredients are most likely already in your kitchen just waiting to be apart of your new favorite dinner recipe. The only item that you may need to shop for is the B-V Broth and Sauce Concentrate (Beef). We buy ours on Amazon but we have also been able to find it Walmart from time to time. When you purchase via Amazon you will be ordering a set of 12. Don’t worry about it! You are not ordering too much! Once you taste how yummy these Italian Beef Sandwiches are, you will be making this meal several times a month. You will need those 12 count jars! Trust me! Worth every penny!

No fancy cooking skills needed. All you have to do is layer your ingredients in the crock-pot, cook on low all day while tending to your busy schedule. This is a great “set it and forget it” recipe. When you return to the kitchen, you will have an amazing meal to enjoy.

Note: You may or may not want to brown your beef roast in a skillet before placing it into the crock-pot. I prefer to do so and it only takes a little bit of time. Browning the outside of the beef roast is a great way to seal in all that flavor.

Your family will be trying to take nibbles all day in anticipation. When Paul walks through the door and this meal is in the crock-pot, he knows exactly what I am making and he is instantly excited for dinner. Once your meal is ready to eat, it is really easy to shred the meal right in the crock-pot with very little effort. The beef is so juicy and tender that it will simply fall apart as you pull the beef apart with a fork.

We love using the bolillo rolls for our Italian Beef Sandwiches but of course, you will want to choose your favorite bread. The kids love those little Hawaiian Rolls as well for little mini sandwiches. Place the beef roast on the bread and top with your favorite cheese. We love Provolone and Swiss. Cheese! No Cheese! It’s up to you.

So there you have it! Easy Right?! Keeping it simple when it comes to dinner always seems to turn out to be the best meal. This is a budget-friendly meal that you can create with a five start taste!

Crock-pot season is here and this recipe will be a great start to cold weather comfort that tastes amazing. If you require a gluten-free diet, no problem! Pair with your favorite veggies in place of the bread for a fantastic quick meal..

How To Make Mini Pumpkin Pies

October 24, 2019 By Tiffany Leave a Comment By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

I am completely obsessed with Mini Pumpkin Pies. I think it is really just mini stuff in general, but the pumpkin pies are so darling this time of year I am in love!

You might remember this summer the Mini Cherry Pies and the Mini Quiche the girls and I made, well same idea, just different filling!

The Mini Cherry Pies post has a long tutorial on how to cut out the pie dough and bake them, I will spare you the details again. Just cut out the pre-made pie crust with a large cup and press them in a muffin tin.

Make your pumpkin pie filling following the recipe on the Libby’s can. Fill each cup about 3/4 the way full.

I did 3 different kinds of toppings, well 2 at least and left one like a traditional pumpkin pie.

Topping#1 – Like the cherry pies I made a lattice out of dough. These take longer but I think they are the cutest!

Topping #2 – I added a streusel topping from soft butter, oatmeal, brown sugar and flour plus a little bit of cinnamon.

Topping #3 – 🙂 No topping just traditional pumpkin pie.

Bake them for about 20 minutes or until the center is firm and let cool. Remove from the muffin tins and serve. Obviously cool whip and ice cream go perfectly.

I think the thing about the mini versions is that you love that they seem personalized even if they really aren’t. How many times have you wanted to eat an entire pie?? Well you can now!

Recipe: How To Make Neiman Marcus $250 Chocolate Chip Cookies

October 21, 2019 By Tiffany Leave a Comment By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

The Neiman Marcus $250 Cookie Recipe is legend just about everywhere. Have you heard the story?

My daughter and I had just finished a salad at Neiman-Marcus Cafe in Dallas & decided to have a small dessert. Because both of us are such cookie lovers, we decided to try the “Neiman-Marcus Cookie”. It was so excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe and the waitress said with a small frown “I’m afraid not.” Well” I said, “would you let me buy the recipe?”

With a cute smile, she said YES”. I asked how much and she responded, “Only two fifty, it’s a great deal!” I said with approval, “just add it to my tab”.. Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement from Neiman-Marcus and it was $285.00. I looked again and remembered I had only spent $9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf. As I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said, “Cookie Recipe – $250.00”. That’s outrageous!!!

I called Neiman’s Accounting Dept. and told them that the waitress said it was “two-fifty,” which clearly does not mean “two hundred and fifty dollars” by any POSSIBLE interpretation of the phrase. Neiman-Marcus refused to budge.. They would not refund my money, because according to them, “What the waitress told you is not our problem. You have already seen the recipe – we absolutely will not refund your money at this point.” I explained to her the criminal statutes which govern fraud in Texas. I threatened to refer them to the Better Business Bureau and the State’s Attorney General for engaging in fraud. I was basically told, “Do what you want, we dont give a damn, and we’re not refunding your money.” I waited a moment, thinking of how I could get even,or even try to get any of my money back. I just said, “Okay, you folks got my $250.00, and now I’m going to have $250.00 worth of fun.”

This story is an urban legend, but it is really a lot of fun, and the cookies just might possibly be worth $250!

The trick is pulling them out BEFORE you think they are done and letting the cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet. Then transferring them to the cooling rack or counter. Also, don’t skip the oatmeal part. I blend it up in my Vitamix or blender and it really gives them a special taste. I find that they get crumbly fast and so store them in a container quickly that is sealed! You won’t be sorry that you tried theses!

It makes a HUGE recipe, but that is O.K. you will need that many! I do add about 1 cup of Heath bar to mine, but that is if I have it on hand! 🙂

Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

(Recipe may be halved):
2 cups butter
4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups brown sugar
5 cups blended oatmeal (measure oatmeal and blend in blender to a fine powder)
24 oz. chocolate chips
1 tsp. salt
1 8 oz. Hershey bar (grated)
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)
2 tsp. vanilla

Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey bar and nuts. Roll into balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet..Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 112 cookies.. Have Fun!!!
