Easy Crockpot Mac and Cheese!

This is hands the absolute easiest way to make macaroni and cheese! Believe it or not, it's unbelievably creamy, no broken curdled sauce, no mushy noodles, and the taste is simply perfect.

My tricks to a good crockpot mac and cheese are to use a combination of cream, water, and evaporated milk - instead of regular or whole milk so it doesn't curdle in the cheese sauce. Then also wait until closer to the end to add the shredded cheese so that doesn't overheat and separate.

And another important key is to use a combination of cheeses for great flavor and texture. Sharp cheddar builds up the best traditional macaroni and cheese flavor, while each American cheese and Monterey Jack cheese create a velvety sauce.

The starches of cooking everything together in one pot (or slow cooker insert technically) also help create a smooth sauce.

This is a family favorite! It has a well-balanced flavor that isn't too harsh so people of all ages love it, and the cook will love the ease of preparation.

It's jam-packed flavorful goodness in every bite and undoubtedly worthy of the holidays (it's perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or potlucks), but yet simple enough for a weeknight side dish!

And quesadillas, who doesn't want to live on them? When a simple, humble tortilla is layered generously with cheese in the center and pan fried with butter to a crisp golden brown exterior you get something truly satisfying out of just three simple ingredients.

Then when you want to take it to next level flavor, you stuff it not only with cheese but with sauteed sweet peppers, onions and garlic and a seasoned, tender chicken too. And now we're talking best quesadilla ever!

Overflowing flavor meets melted cheesy bliss. You've got to try these! Let's take a peak inside....

Homemade Chicken Enchiladas

When we go to Mexican restaurants, enchiladas or tacos of some kind are usually my first choices. I mean, who can resist a good enchilada?

I'm picky about what makes a good enchilada. First off, it's all about that sauce. The sauce makes or breaks an enchilada and this sauce is so delicious!

Second, no flour tortillas! Okay this is totally personal opinion but enchiladas on flour tortillas should never be a thing.

Corn tortillas don't get soggy and mushy. They absorb the sauce better and the flavor is just more fitting.

Third, bring on the cheese! Authentic Mexican enchiladas actually don't have much cheese, I prefer this more American extra cheesy version (and yes I'll even sometimes add more than what's listed here because why not?).

And lastly, let's not bake them so long they dry up and get crispy cheese. I just like to bake long enough to heat through and melt the cheese.
