Do you have a picky eater? One of my kids hates homemade Mac and Cheese.
I have had to revamp my recipe until I found one he liked. Well... getting triples at dinner time was a thing that day! I have an extra mouth to feed for the time being, so I am all about crockpot recipes and good ol' home cooking! I tried it as a no boil once and that did not work out too well, I suggest boiling the noodles every time.
This is a great dish to bring to a party or add as a side dish for your own party.

½ cup butter
