Slow Cooker Creamy Macaroni and Cheese

This recipe I found through the Six Sisters cooking website. They referenced Repeat Crafter Me as to where they found it. Nevertheless, where ever it came from, it is delicious and a big hit with anyone who eats it. Mac and Cheese is a favorite with kids and adults alike. I served it with a pot of Little Smokie's and BBQ sauce. Both pots were gone in mere minutes!

Ingredients
2 Cups uncooked elbow macaroni
4 TBS. butter
2 1/2 Cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 Cup sour cream
1 (10.75) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Cup milk
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. black pepper

Instructions
Boil the macaroni in salted water for 6 minutes and drain.
In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Heat over lower heat and stir until the cheese melts.*

Spray your slow cooker with non stick cooking spray. Combine cheese mixture, sour cream, salt, milk, mustard and pepper in your slow cooker. Add the drained macaroni and stir again.
Cook on low for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. I stirred it twice. The macaroni is creamy, cheesy, and very delicious!

*After reading some of the reviews, a number of people made it by cutting up the butter in small chunks, and mixing the hot noodles in with the butter and cheese to soften them, stirring for several minutes. Next, mix in with the other ingredients in the crock pot and stir together. Cook as mentioned above. I have not tried this, but I am going to make it this way in the future to reduce the number of pans needed prior to using the crock pot.

I tripled this recipe and it filled a 6 quart crock pot. I think each recipe could feed 8-10.

Swiss Porridge

This recipe came from my good friend Leann Gustin. It is something they serve as part of a family tradition on General Conference weekend. You can serve it with a variety of fruits, and it is yummy when served with sweet rolls.

1 Cup Old Fashioned Oatmeal
1 Cup Yogurt
1/4 cup of brown sugar
dash of Salt
1 can of crushed pineapple (juice and fruit)
1-2 Cups of Cool Whip
Fruits chopped ( apples, oranges, berries of all kinds, banana, peaches, etc) frozen fruit can also be used
Optional:
Chopped nuts
Coconut

Mix oatmeal, yogurt, brown sugar, crushed pineapple, together. Stir until well mixed. Can be mixed the night before and placed in the refrigerator. In the morning, chop up a variety of fruits and add to mixture. Stir in Cool Whip. I usually chop up an apple, and add blueberries, strawberries, banana. Add in any optional items. Serve cold. If needed add additional yogurt or cool whip.
If not making this ahead, make it early enough to mix together and set in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
