Mac and Cheese!

Everyone loves a good mac and cheese. I have a few recipes that I've used and tried. This is definitely near the top. It is great because you can crock pot it, or stove top it. I love the versatility of that. Anyhow, it's a really simple recipe and makes great noodles. It's also the top of my mac and cheese reheat list. Anyone who's had Kraft knows that mac and cheese does not microwave well. This is my #1 microwavable mac and cheese. Hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients
3 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
2 tbsp butter
3 cups (24 oz) grated cheedar cheese (or sharp for different flavor. Or any combo of cheese equal to 24 oz)
20 oz. Evaporated milk
salt and pepper to taste
I added some cayenne pepper as well

Crock Pot:
Cook noodles, then toss in butter. Add to Crock pot with additional ingredients. Cook for 2-3 hours on high. Stir occasionally.

Stove Top:
Cook noodles, coat on butter. Add remaining ingredients and melt on medium heat, stirring regularly to avoid scorching.

This recipe is easily beefed up by adding peppers, mushrooms, meat products, etc. It's easy to get creative, but still yummy simple.
