Here's a recipe that I plan on fixing for dinner tomorrow night. Both my husband and kids love it. Note: be sure and use a slow cooker and not a crock pot for this recipe. I've tried the crock pot and the macaroni and cheese does not turn out right.
2 c. evaporated milk (I use evaporated skim milk)
2 Tbs. butter
3 1/2 c. or 16 oz. cubed cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt
1 egg, beaten
2 c. elbow macaroni
Combine evaporated milk, paprika, salt, egg, butter, and cheese in slow cooker; stir. Cook on high for 1 hour. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Stir cooked macaroni into cheese sauce, reduce temperature to low and cook for 3-5 hours.

What's the difference between a crockpot and a slow cooker? Just curious.
I was wondering the same thing, but I felt too dumb to ask! :)
I thought they were the same thing as well until I made the recipe and figured it out. A slow cooker is the thing that has a dish that sits on top of a heating plate. It has a more options for temperatures. Where as, a crock pot only has low or high. This link is a picture of a slow cooker.
