Here we are I'm running late got home from the gym and had to make dinner. The chicken had to be cooked that night so here we are a quick and easy one. Now the All Day Mac & Cheese of course was suppose to be a crockpot that I turned into a stovetop :).
How can you go wrong with chicken strips and mac & cheese and it's not the drive threw it's a super yummy!
All Day Macaroni & Cheese
Ingredients:
8 ounces elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
12 ounces evaporated milk
1 1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
Combine the macaroni, 3 cups of the cheese, evaporated milk, milk, eggs, salt and pepper. Place in a greased crockpot. Top with remaining cheese. Cover; cook on low for 5-6 hours.
ALEXIS NOTE: I used Fat Free Evaporated Milk and did this one on the stove top, I'm sure it would be even yummier if in crockpot!
