Substitution! Yep life interrupted planning

Ok, ok I know I was suppose to be making Chinese pork roast for dinner..  well long story short it didn't happen.  So I had to use my all time fall back meal.  We all have one.  Mine happens to be Paula Deans Mac and Cheese.  You can come over to my house any time request this and I will have everything needed to make it...  Anyways  here it is..

Ingredients

2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (an 8-ounce box isn't quite 2 cups)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stuck) butter, cut into pieces
2 1/2 cups (about 10 ounces) grated sharp Cheddar cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Boil the macaroni in a 2 quart saucepan in plenty of water until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain. In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts. In a slow cooker, combine cheese/butter mixture and add the eggs, sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper and stir well. Then add drained macaroni and stir again. Set the slow cooker on low setting and cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

I hope your dinner plans went smoother then mine.  At least we still had a yummy meal :)
