Crock-pot Macaroni 'n Cheese
This recipe produces a soft creamy macaroni and cheese. There is no written recipe for this one, so measurements are approximate.
1 16 oz box of macaroni
1 stick of margarine (can use a little less)
2 cans evaporated milk (12 oz can)
approximately 3 cups milk
24 oz (or less) grated sharp cheese
1 T. minced onion (optional)
1 T. oil
1 tsp. salt
pepper to taste
1 or 2 finely grated carrots (optional)
Put all the ingredients into the slow cooker. Cook on low for 3-4 hours until soft.
Note: To cut down on fat, use nonfat evaporated milk, nonfat skim milk, less than 1 stick margarine, and less than 24 oz of cheese. You may also add a grated carrot or two for additional nutrition.

12 oz shredded mozzarella cheese (reserve 1/2 cup)

Spoon a layer of meat sauce onto the bottom of crock cooker. Add *two* layers of uncooked lasagna noodles (broken into small pieces to make them fit) and then top with cheese mixture.
