| 32 oz. Velveeta cheese |
|
2 c. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
| 1 can evaporated milk |
|
32 oz. macaroni noodles |

Place large pot of water on to boil. While waiting for water to boil, cut up the Velveeta into chunks & place chunks & evaporated milk in the crock pot (I start out with pot on high). When water is ready, put noodles in for 10 minutes, strain & dump ½ of the noodles into the cheesy goodness with a little salt & pepper, stir. Add 1 cups of shredded cheese, stir. Add in remaining noodles & additional salt & pepper, stir. Add salt & pepper to your taste & stir again if needed. Top of with remaining cup of cheese & you’re done! Leave on high for 1 to 2 hours, then move to low or warm until you serve.

Awhile back, the church my husband’s family attends in Oregon put together a recipe book as a fundraiser for the church. It is a professionally printed and bound book, Generations of Cherished Recipes from St. Thomas Becket Parishioners. My mother-in-law gave me a copy for Christmas because the family submitted heavily, so it was her way of passing on a lot of their family recipes to me. So I’m going to periodically publish some of the recipes bestowed upon me and spread the love!
