Crock Pot Mac and Cheese

Comfort food + Crock Pot = yes.

I really enjoyed this side dish (to a few meals-it makes a lot) because of how simple it was to make and again, I was able to confess my love to my crock pot.

I have a problem. I know.

Other than waiting for the noodles to boil, this came together quite quickly and made the house smell wonderful and cheesy. Feel free to add MORE cheese or even throw this into a baking dish with butter, cheese, and breadcrumbs on top and place it under the broiler for a few minutes. Yum.

Red Beans and Rice

You asked for it, more crock pot recipes! I used to be intimidated by cooking with beans. I thought you had to soak them for days and cook them for weeks. I was so wrong. Yes, there are box mixes for red beans and rice, but this is so much better, cheaper, and delicious. 

The recipe was adapted from Our Best Bites (love them).

Add rinsed and sorted beans to your crock pot.

Cover with water.

Add bouillon cubes.

 P.S. Has anyone ever seen the Tony Chachere's commercial? Horrible.

Add the onion and seasonings.

Add the sausage and stir to combine. Pop a lid on, and cook on HIGH for 6 hours.

This is your finished product!

Serve over, under, or around rice! 

This would also be great with cornbread.

Chicken Noodle Soup

Pin It







Who doesn't love a piping hot bowl of chicken noodle soup? Many of us didn't really experience a winter this year, including us. I didn't make many soups or stews, but I did try my hand at homemade chicken noodle. With a start to finish time of under an hour, this is a definite go to for me!
