Oh my, that sounds yummy! Don't know how I missed it the first time around.
 
Really, Colleen.....did you have to list the calories? Oh well, I am on that "see food" diet so I am good to go!

And Beth...every month is chocolate month...every day is chocolate day too!!
 
I think I'm going to either do Fajitas or Pulled Chicken sandwiches....tried them tonight and they were delish!

Amazing Mac N’ Cheese

8 oz block cheddar cheese
Mix Mac, broth, half/half in baker. Cover. Heat high 14 min. Remove and add cheese. Stir. Replace lid for 10 min and let set. Stir and serve.

This looks interesting. I think I may try it, but wait and add 1 cup of the half&half after 7-8 minutes to see if that helps w/ the overflow issue. I may mix my cheeses too. :). And I'll be using gluten-free pasta.

Thanks! I need to try this. I may mix up some different cheeses too. Something my son can eat! (Since he can't chew for another 1-2 months due to jaw surgery - I'm always looking for something we can ALL eat so I don't have to make two different meals.):clap::clap:

Same recipe?
 
One more question: I always buy the box of broth which is 4 cups. Is the can 16 ounces-ish? so 2 cups?

the can is like 14.5 oz

yes...There is not enough liquid in it to boil over....
 
I am doing the Zesty Ravoli Skillet and my host is doing the Autumn Apple Cherry Crisp so this will feature the baker and the pans.

I would have to disagree b/c it well, did boil over. I think it's the half/half that causes the problem...bubbling over. I cooked mine lid on as directed. Are you cooking lid off? Stirring 1/2 way?

Do you grate the cheese or just drop the block in there?
