Shanty Suppers

We are linking up with  Shanty 2 Chic an awesome blog about crafting, DIY projects and saving money :) for their first Shanty Suppers Link Party. The idea is to link up quick, easy dinner ideas for week nights. So here we go...

Shanty 2 Chic

Savory Pulled Pork
*Crock Pot Meal
Pork Loin (any size to feed your family)
Season with fennel, rosemary, salt and pepper
Add water to cover the bottom of your crockpot and cook on low all day, about 6 - 8 hours (can totally go longer). Prior to serving take two forks and shred the pork.
It is amazingly good with very little effort!
Can serve with cole slaw and chips or with crock-pot mac and cheese (recipe below)

Slow Cooked Mac 'n' Cheese
1 pkg. (16oz.) elbow macaroni
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 can evaporated milk (12 oz.)
1 can (10 3/4 oz.) condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup, undiluted
1 cup milk
4 cups Cheddar Cheese, divided
1/8t. paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste

Cook macaroni according to package directions, drain. Place in 5-quart slow cooker, add butter. In a bowl combine the evaporated milk, soup, milk and 3 cups of cheese (you could just mix it all up in the crock-pot) Pour over macaroni. Stir to combine.

Cook on low for four hours.

Sprinkle with remaining cheese, stir and cook a few minutes longer. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.

We use this Mac 'n' Cheese as a go to recipe for large family dinners or parties. You can let it sit in the crock-pot for longer than four hours and everyone loves it from kids to adults!
Enjoy!!
