More easy Crockpot meal PLEASE!! I LOVE Crockpot meals that are simple & easy and taste delicious. Thanks! ❤

[@monie1527]

In your crock pot, 1 bag frozen SOUTHERN hash browns (they are the tiny square ones), 1 carton chicken stock (this equals 4 cups), 1 can cream of chicken (or mushroom) soup (22.6 oz can), 1 C sharp cheddar cheese. Put this on low for about 8 hours. Crisp up 4-6 strips of bacon & crumble, toss that into your soup & add 1 brick cream cheese & stir until all is incorporated. Holy cow, this is amazing and perfect for winter. If you want to be fancy schmancy....serve in bread soup bowls.

[@wandamyers2690]

@@monie1527 Oh yum! I will be making tomorrow!! Thanks for the recipe💖

[@harrietlivengood6793]

My daughter made a crockpot of macaroni and cheese for Thanksgiving and in two days my 18 year old grandson ate all of it, yes ALL OF IT! This is a great recipe.

[@CatherinesPlates]

I'm glad y'all liked it.

[@debbyh.9028]

Looks yummy!😊 I do think when you grate the blocks of cheese the cheese melts so much better then the already shredded cheese in a bag👍 Can’t wait to make this!

[@EnlightnMe48]

I like that cheese grater. 😮❤ Very time efficient vs the knuckle scraper.

[@1970boobear]

I agree w/ you 1000% about grating your own cheese! It's worth a few extra minutes & the texture is waaay better than pre-shredded. When they add cellulose as an anti-caking agent, it doesn't melt as well & tends to separate & be greasy rather than creamy ❤😊

[@monie1527]

Am I the only one who thinks pre shredded cheese is just to damned expensive? I'll take the 2/3 less expensive brick of cheese (coated in NOTHING) and take it home. I've got a grater there.

[@charlibrown7745]

​@@monie1527it costs the same at the stores around me.

[@monie1527]

@@charlibrown7745 Yeah & it's coated with yuk. It is NOT the same price in my area.

[@tracydriscoll4998]

My mouth's watering for this one...thanks for the recipe! Also agree about grating your own cheese and am happy to see you using that cheese grating gadget. I recently got one and am so happy with how easily it grates my cheese...a game changer!

[@vickiepatterson1748]

You said the magic word Catherine! Cheese!😍 I've been using your millionaire mac and cheese recipe ever since you made that video! It made a large baking pan full and two smaller pans! I gave the smaller pans to other people and kept the biggest one for me!😋 You never disappoint with your wonderful recipes!😚 Thanks for sharing another great recipe!🥰

[@loripretti843]

No THAT is an EASY CHEESY way to make mac n cheese!!! Thank you Catherine!!! I will definitely be taking this to a Christmas party!!! God Bless Us All!!!

Thank you. I've been looking for a good Mac and Cheese 🧀 recipe. This is fantastic and easy.❤❤

[@CatherinesPlates]

You are so welcome!

[@danielbeard467]

I am one of the world’s biggest mac-n-cheese fans, so I just HAD to try this recipe. Absolutely delicious, rich, and creamy, and cleanup is a breeze! Another winner from Catherine’s kitchen. Thanks for sharing!

[@shar7508]

How did your sauce turn out? Mine felt like a “rue”. Tasted delicious though!

[@danielbeard467]

Mine turned out really thick and creamy with just a slight crust around the edges.

[@shar7508]

@@danielbeard467 ooo sounds yummy. Mine was liquidy at first, but then turned thick when it sat out for a little bit. The sauce was like a “rue” though..a bit grainy. I used 32 Oz of cheese. Maybe I used too much? Thanks for your help!

[@danielbeard467]

Come to think of it, I only used around 24 oz of cheese, but I did make sure to stir it thoroughly every 30 minutes or so.

[@lindarobinson1424]

Love this!!!

[@Brenda-zg5pb]

Good morning to you and your family. Thank You for another great recipe. Can't wait to try it and feed people where I live when we have pot lucks. God Bless you all and have a great day ❤😊

Thank you 😋

[@lovesPaulRodriguez]

Thank you for explaining that you need to stir. I thought not lifting the lid was for all recipes. I tried someone else's recipe, twice, that said cook it on high for two hours and not touch it and it came out a burnt mess. I kept thinking I was doing something wrong.

[@SeanNewhouse-mv9ez]

Some curry powder too! I do love to use ratios of canned milk & cream or half and half for taste and texture of course its easy to use even just a little too much canned milk taste wise I like to use macaroni that holds in plenty of sauce Also, love to use varieties of cheese that combine grainy with smooth as well as the flavor profiles and velveeta and white cheese work very well. If I use gouda or other you only need A LITTLE for good effect there. And, then the real gritty texture of dried cheese Ppl who use too much butter will kind of ruin the sauce and its taste effect

[@jenniferchristenson1272]

🤍looks great!!

Looks delicious. Could you give us info on the cheese grater? It looks better than the one I have.

[@erikseanwolff5341]

Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family. I was wondering if I could substitute for half-and-half and possibly even the carnation milk for heavy cream? It is after all the holidays and decadence runs wild lol I might have to add more chicken broth because it is so thick but I was really wanting to get your opinion please. I’ve been a fan of your show for many years

[@CatherinesPlates]

Yes, you can us Heavy Cream, but it's going to be super rich.

[@k.popper2620]

[@dbelcher3249]

Would top it with bread crumbs!!!

[@anderander5662]

I like my Mac and Cheese a little more pourable than that so I would add even more chicken broth. Looks good

[@ninagilliam9568]

This looks so yummy! Question: Can this be assembled ahead of time (ie, the night before) and then started in the slow cooker the next day, or would the noodles absorb too much of the liquid prematurely?

[@CatherinesPlates]

I think the noodles would absorb to much of the liquid.

[@shar7508]

Hi Catherine! Do you like your slow cooker? Can you tell me what type it is? I’m looking to purchase a new one. This Mac n cheese looks AMAZING 😋

Hey how are you I wanted say I love your videos and all your food always looks amazing I was wondering if you do t use any kind of broth what could you replace it could you use milk or water thanks so much and stay blessed ❤

You can use water in place of the broth.

Hi Catherine, If I wanted to make this for a church gathering, using a 6qt slow cooker, would I be able to double the recipe and still have it fit in the cooker?

[@CatherinesPlates]

Yes, you can double the recipe. I have a 6-quart crockpot too.

[@lisabloomfield6406]

Wowza!! 🎉 Quick question: Why do you add chicken broth if it needs more liquid instead of, say, milk? Is it just a preference or is there some cooking trick associated with the broth? I'm just curious! Thank you, Catherine! Looks so yummy! 👌😊

[@kitkat-fw3wy]

I was wondering that too. Can you taste the chicken broth in the Mac and cheese?

[@CatherinesPlates]

That's fine with the milk, it will make it a richer flavor, the chicken broth keeps it a lighter flavor.

[@kimmypayne2559]

I am making this soon!!!! Can I substitute regular mustard for the Dijon?

Miss Catherine that Mac N Cheese looks good as usual, and I really love your cheese grater, but that Mac N cheese looks lonely. Maybe some meat or bacon or something to bring out the flavor even more.

[@FreddieFoodieKing]

[@SoGorgeous-ju8jn]

Great recipe! I would not recommend using packaged grated cheese. It does not have the same flavor as if you were to grate your own. There is a waxy substance around the cheese that is used to preserve the cheese.👎
