There is no denying the ultimate comfort that a good bowl of macaroni & cheese offers up.  Thinking about this delicious homemade dish always reminds me of childhood. Back when my world mainly consisted of hand made meals that were constructed with love and possibly a little sunshine.  This post contains affiliate links.

While I'm constantly trying to work on my own dinner game, recipe books that focus on shortcuts are my friend. 

I recently was offered the chance to check out Slow Cooker Dump Dinners by Jennifer Palmer.  All of the recipes boast only 5 ingredients or less.

If you know anything about me, you'll know why I just had to get this collection of recipes into my hands asap!

Before really diving into the book, I landed on her Country-Style Macaroni and Cheese recipe and knew this just had to be the first to try.

I've been wanting to try slow cooker mac n' cheese for ages now. My cousin made some a while back and it was delish! I have to admit, I was slightly skeptical. Would it burn? The end results were perfect, just like homemade macaroni and cheese should be. Between my son and I, this didn't last long.

One note: the recipe calls for only 1 teaspoon of salt. I found that mine needed a little more for the flavor to pop to perfection.
