One Pot Macaroni and Cheese

One Pot Homestyle Mac & Cheese in a Rice Cooker! Have to try this!

My kids have been real troopers the last couple years with my crazy new food allergies.  It wasn’t just me that was affected, but the whole family and my kids have learned to be really careful around me when eating dairy.  I was feeling like they were missing out on some good homestlye mac & cheese (they’ve been making the easy 3 min stuff in a cup), so I decided to get  creative and figure out how to make this super easy for me and super tasty for them.  I ended up putting my rice cooker to the ultimate test to create this One Pot Macaroni and Cheese dish for the kids.

I love how easy this is.  Only one pot,  just a few ingredients, and hardly any hands on time….can’t get much easier than that.  The kids were just super excited I actually made some homemade mac & cheese for them.  It had been way too long since I last spoiled them with some.

Hubbyman and both kids gave it two thumbs up each and proceeded to finish off the pot.  Should I tell them how easy this was or keep it to myself?  I bet I could get at least one of them to do the dishes for me. Hmmm..now that’s a great idea!

    I love homemade Macaroni and Cheese, but have tried making it and it has not turned out. I like this recipe because it is made in a rice cooker and looks like it is so delicious and turned out nicely. My sister loves macaroni and cheese and I will have to make it for my family soon.

    I'm gonna have to make this! I've never tried making macaroni and cheese on the stove before. It looks great! I'm going to use an ice cream scoop the next time I make it. What a great idea!

      Hmmmm...not sure about the microwave. I've never used a rice cooker in the microwave. You know...I'd probably give it a try though. Let me know if you try it Becca.
