Serves 4
Cook on low for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or on high for about 1 hour


When my nephew and niece come for the occassional day in the school holidays, when it's cooler, we like to make something hot for lunch.  Their mum tells me that if they've had a hand in helping me make the meal, they are more willing to eat it! 

Macaroni Cheese is their favorite, and it's super easy in the crock pot!  And it's a great way of using up a little bit of this and that in the fridge, a few extra cooked vege and or a little bit of cold meat, tuna, added in time heat through throroughly, makes the dish unique each time you make it - and helps stretch it out to feed more too,  as necessary.

This is a one pot meal - or the basis for one - the whole family will enjoy!
