How to Make Meaty Mac Casserole in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

When thinking up recipes this week, I enlisted the help of Michael (not Mikey…it can get confusing when sisters are married to two guys with the same first name lol). I wanted to make a recipe using ingredients we already had in the house. So, together we came up with this delicious Crock Pot Meaty Mac Casserole.

When creating a new recipe, you do your best to put together ingredients you think will work well together. Sometimes it does not work. Other times, the combination is so much better than you thought it would be! This recipe was definitely the latter. To quote my 8 year old, Ryder, “All the flavors mix together really well. It tastes amazing!” I guess growing up with a mom who develops recipes and discusses them with her family turns you into a mini food connoisseur! 😉 Michael and I had to agree! The flavors cook into the macaroni noodles to give you an all around flavorful dish!

I am in awe of the many blessings big and small I receive daily from a pretty amazing God who calls me His own. Sometimes life is crazy and messy, but I am loving every minute of it.

      I haven’t tried doubling this recipe. If I did, I would probably put it in at least an 8 quart crock pot. As for the cooking time, without testing it, I am not sure. I recommend making it for the first time when you can watch it closely and have time to extend the time if needed. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
