Need a Quick Meal? Make this And Everyone Will Beg For Seconds!

I know it is tempting to just grab a pizza from a quick pizza place that only makes pizza to go. Every once in a while that is fine to grab something hot. But how nutritious is it? I mean we are talking a lot of bread with minimal amount of anything else. So when you feel stuck on a weeknight, hurry home and whip this up.

I love that by the time you get the table set and everyone washed up dinner is hot and ready to put on the table. And even better is the fact that the clean-up is only one pot!

Not sure what to do about left overs? Really..that was a trick question because most likely there won’t be any! And if there are they will be great to take for lunch the next day.

Not long ago I made homemade Mac and Cheese for a family I cook for. When left overs of Mac and Cheese were taken into the office to heat up for lunch someone noticed and went home that night and made a homemade mac and cheese as well. Homemade food that is created from scratch is worth the effort. And the great part about this recipe is that chances are you already have most of these ingredients at home.

This is what Chelsea of Chelsea’s Messy Apron has to say about this one pot dinner.

This dish = cheesy perfection. Because, as you can see, there is no skimping on the cheese in this taco pasta!

I am such a push over for anything with bacon in it and so is my family!

My mom made homemade macaroni and cheese the whole time I was growing up and I make basically the same baked version for my family. But adding bacon takes this to a whole new level of YUM! I wouldn’t be surprised if I caught my kids eating this for breakfast because it is so good!

Adding in that this is actually a slow cooker or crock pot recipe makes this even better. I am sure you avid Insta-Pot enthusiasts are already all over this kind of recipe, but for this crock pot rookie, I am still learning the tricks of the trade.

I love that this doesn’t require turning on the oven! I mean who really wants to heat up the house when it is already warm and there are times when being able to keep something warm is perfect.

Think family gathering here, church potluck, baby showers, or just one of those busy evenings when everyone is getting home at different times.

Hopefully you will have left overs because they are wonderful to take in your lunch and heat up in the office.

So plug in and get to cookin’! This is once dish you are not going to want to miss!

This is what Tammilee of Tammilee Tips has to say about this easy dish.

I hear everything is better with bacon, so we made Crock Pot Bacon macaroni and cheese.Bacon does make this recipe even better.

Not sure what to make for your picky Eaters? Fix This Classic and watch What Happens. 

There is nothing like sinking you fork into a plate of comfort food to just make whatever troubles you are having disappear.

Growing up, my mom made Mac and Cheese a lot. The home cooked creamy goodness was comfort food, even as a kid.

I didn’t know that Mac and Cheese were something people often made from a box until I was almost an adult. When I tried the artificial tasting cheese food dish I knew it was NOT the same dish my mom used to make.

While this recipe might be a little bit harder than boiling water and stirring a powdered mix into small macaroni, your family will thank you.

When I need a recipe that is basic and full of flavor I head to one of my favorite cooking resource, Rachel Ray.

Check out what Rachel Ray says about this cheesy standard.

“My mac and cheese gets extra richness from the milk, flour and butter sauce I make, also known as béchamel sauce.”  Rachel Ray
