Melt in your mouth mac n cheese

 

One of my families all time favorites on a cold winter day is home made mac n cheese. My family loves how creamy and cheesy this version is and I love how simple it is to make, that makes it a win/win in my book! ;) 

When my son requested it for dinner tonight and I was all to happy to oblige after a busy day. We think your whole family will love it just as much as we do so I had to share it with you!  :)

One of my favorite things about this recipe is how easily it can be adapted to your families likes. Simply add a cup of shredded chicken, ground beef, sliced pieces of a sausage, died ham or bacon and your mac n cheese will make anyone happy! 

Directions: 

*1 box of uncooked noodles (I prefer O Organics whole wheat macaroni, rigatoni or spiral noodles. We also love to make it with GF noodles or black bean noodles as well).

*1 cup of desired meat

*1 cup of water

*1/2 tablespoon of butter is optional

Dump all ingredients into instant pot. Starting with noodles on the bottom. Stir to combine. 

Press 4 minutes on manual settings for regular noodles. 2 minutes if using Gluten Free noodles, rice noodles or black bean noodles. 

Close lid and lock in place and allow to cook. Once timer goes off do a quick release. 

After it's cooked directions:

*Add 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream and stir 

*Add in 1 to 1 1/2 cups of any cheese blend you like (we prefer a Monterey Jack/Colby Jack or cheddar variety)

                                 *Stir all ingredients to combine. Serve immediately. Enjoy! 


PS. If you don't have an instant pot yet you are totally missing out! It is my all time favorite small kitchen appliance and we use it at least 3 or more times a week! 


Happy Friday Friends!

Shredded Chicken & Cheese English Muffin Breakfast Bake

  HI Friends, Happy Holidays!! This year for our Christmas morning brunch I tried out this new recipe and it was a huge hit with the fam so I just had to share it with you :) I'm loving that this recipe can be made ahead of time (which is great for a holiday meal) and stored overnight in the fridge to save prep time the day you intend to bake it. This year I coupled this with my yummy Cinnamon Roll French Toast Breakfast Bake (recipe link here:  Cinnamon Roll French Toast Breakfast Bake )  for a hearty breakfast. We ate around 11:30am and still haven't been hungry for much other than a snack of fruit & veggies and it's 6:30pm! It held us all day and we are just getting ready to eat a lite dinner while we watch some Christmas movies :)  Hope your family enjoys it as much as mine did! :)  INGREDIENTS: 8 English muffins sliced into 1 inch cubes 16 oz shredded chicken or diced cooked ham  2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 8 large eggs 2 cups heavy whipping cre...
