It came out good! Link below -- I made 1 change in that I browned the hamburger first, I'm extremely leery of not browning hamburg before it goes in crockpot. Everything else I followed to the T. Yum!

So sorry I didn't get this out! I was sick Monday and Tuesday; back to work on Wednesday, and it slipped my mind. Here it is, and trust me, it's worth the wait!

Pour 1/2 of cheese sauce into bottom of sprayed crockpot. Add macaroni and top with remaining sauce. Stir well. Cook on low for 2 hours.

MichelleV1990 - the mac n cheese was great --- thanks!!!

Not quite yet summerluno2 but I don't like my food to be too spicy so you can drop out the jalapeno peppers. Thought I'd post it as it sounds so delicious (love, love love coconut) - will update soon on how it was.0

This sounds really good except I don't like balsamic vinegar. I wonder if could substitute it with fat free raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing?0 -
Doing the 5 Ingredient Pot Roast right now. (and it SMELLS so GOOD!) It's not a new recipe...it's made the rounds, I am sure, but it is so YUM! I do moderate carbs (<100/day...NOT low carb) so I don't do the normal veggies, I just do the meat and other 4 ingredients...and serve it shredded over mashed cauliflower.0
