Crockpot Beefy Macaroni and Cheese with Veggies

June 20, 2011 in Beef, Crockpot, Entrees

I tried a new recipe last week that turned out ok, but I think with some playing around it could be much better. I’m going to post the recipe and do my own playing around with it, but I’d love to see what other people would do to make it better as well.

I’ll post what I try and how it turned out when I make it again.

2 lbs hamburger 1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup water 12 oz package frozen mixed vegetables
2 cans cream of mushroom soup 2 cups shredded cheddar
2 1/2 cups cooked macaroni

For the frozen mixed vegetables I used the green beans, corn, etc mix.

  1. Brown ground beef and onions.
  2. Combine all ingredients, except shredded cheese and macaroni, in the Crock Pot.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
  4. Add cheese and hot cooked macaroni and continue cooking for about 15 to 30 minutes longer, or until the cheese has melted and the dish is heated through.

It was a little bland and tasted like it was missing something. I think next time I’m going to try different vegetables and some spices. If anyone plays around with it, let me know the result!
