This recipe comes from a dear family friend, Louise Plunkett. Mr. & Mrs. Plunkett live in Immokalee, Florida not far from my parents. Growing up, we would eat at the Plunkett’s quite often and the meals always seemed to include – fried venison, cheeseburger casserole, fresh vegetables and Key lime pie.
To this day, I can still remember eating a baked cabbage casserole with a cream cheese and breadcrumb topping… it was incredible. Sadly, Mrs. Plunkett has no recollection of it. Truth be told, she probably whipped it together and never gave it a second thought. Mrs. Plunkett was a creator in the kitchen and my waistline can attest to it!
Below is Mrs. Plunkett’s recipe for a Crock Pot Macaroni & Cheese. Given our current economic times, this timely dish is one that can feed many and remain extremely affordable.
Crock Pot Macaroni & Cheese
1 lb macaroni
1 lb grated cheese
1 can evaporated milk
1 can cheese soup
1 stick butter, melted
1 egg
¾ cup regular milk
Cook and drain macaroni. Mix with the rest of the ingredients. Put in crock pot on low for 3 hours.
NOTE: ham is a great addition to this dish, and would provide a protein component to make for a more complete meal and/or hearty appetizer.
