Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese

January 27, 2014

Mac and cheese made SO easy by using a slow cooker. This version also adds a veggie to the sauce to make it good for you, without tasting it at all.

•2? c butternut squash puree (I used frozen, entirely thawed)
•4 c unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
•16 oz whole wheat or high fiber pasta (small, such as shells or macaroni)
•3 – 4 c reduced fat sharp cheddar, shredded
•1½ tsp salt, to taste
•¼ tsp pepper
•1 tsp garlic powder
•1 tsp dried parsley

1.Spritz large slow cooker with nonstick spray. 2.In the slow cooker, whisk together butternut squash puree and almond milk until there are no chunks remaining. Add the pasta, cheese, and seasonings and mix...
