  1. Everyone really loved this recipe. I used extra sharp NY cheddar cheese (3cups) sharp cheddar (1 cup)and it was very tasty. Be sure to safe some to sprinkle on top. I was not sure if the recipe intended for the "chef" to precook the noodles or not, but I finally just got brave and poured the uncooked noodles in. Am I ever glad I did. We have five kids, ages 3 thru 12 and all enjoyed. The noodles cooked up beautifully, don't know why I worried! Not a crockpot dish to cook and enjoy at your leisure though, as it will overcook. You will want to time it out so that you are ready to eat when it is done. It overcooked in my crockpot a little so I would cut the cooking time back an hour next time. Delicious!
     
  2. Yummy!!! I subsituted rotini for the elbows and added minced onion, garlic powder, and chopped jalepenos. I cooked it all up for just four hours. The noodles cooked up perfectly. The eggs in the recipe make it reminicient of a crustless quiche. I will skip the mixing in a seperate bowl next time. This is a winner for ease and taste!
     
  3. It was an easy dish, but I found it to be very bland in taste. I think if I would have added a little bit of garlic powder and Onion salt, it would have enhanced the flavor. It wasnt at all what I expected. (I was expecting it to be a little creamy, dont know why i thought that either because of the eggs in it.) But it was still well liked in my home.
     
  4. I was amazed that the macroni cooked so well. I found it to be rather dry and the next time I make it I will add more milk. I think the canned milk as it should give it a creamier texture.
     
  5. Sorry, but this was not good. I read the reviews and followed the recipe. It was more like rubber cheese-- tires come to mind. The family made me promise to never make this again. But thank you for submitting this :)

  1. Ahhh the perfect comfort food! Okay now this is what I did: Mine was done in 4 hrs, instead of cooking spray I used buttered flavored crisco, added minced onions(because we love the crunch and flavor), used a 50/50 blend of sharp/mild cheddar, added cubed ham to make it a 'dinner' rather than a side dish, I did add 1 c. more milk-I was worried that the w/the addition of onions and ham would perhaps ruin it. This was perfect, noodles were cooked thoroughly-had just slight burning on the side of the crockpot. Super Supper. Thank You Branwyn!
