SLOW COOKER BACON, MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Get out your ingredients and get everything measured.
• Fry your bacon until crisp, remove from pan and drain on paper towel. Once drained, crumble it and place on another paper towel until needed.
• Leave a few tablespoons of bacon grease and add your chopped onion. Stir until onions are tender.
• Add peppers for a minute or so and then remove from heat and set aside.
• Line your slow cooker with an aluminum foil collar and coat with cooking spray. If you need to take a moment to watch the video to see how to do this. Otherwise, you are basically just lining your slow cooker with tin foil until it comes up over the edge of your slow cooker. Your lid will sit inside the tin foil.
• Prepare your boiling water while you are microwaving the pasta.
• Microwave macaroni and oil in bowl at 50 percent power, stirring every minute, until macaroni begin to look toasted and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer hot macaroni to prepared slow cooker and immediately stir in 2¾ cups boiling water.

• Add bacon, onions and peppers.
• Give everything a good stir trying not to puncture the tinfoil.
• Cover and cook until macaroni are tender, 1 to 2 hours on high.
• The first time you make this recipe in your slow cooker check your pasta and give it a quick stir at the 1 hour mark (I remove the lid with the spoon in my hand and while holding the lid give it a stir and leave a few noodles on the spoon and return the lid to the slow cooker). You don't want the lid off for any longer than you have to.
• Allow pasta on your spoon to cool slightly, check your pasta for doneness and see if any salt, pepper or other seasonings are needed.
• Decide how close your pasta is to being cooked, the way you prefer, and check slow cooker accordingly until cooked. I would not check any sooner than every 12 to 15 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• If you are serving from your slow cooker, gently stir remaining ¼ cup boiling water into macaroni until combined. You may want to add a little more boiling water or none at all. The decision is up to you. I always add it myself.
• Macaroni can be held on warm or low setting for up to 30 minutes. Adjust consistency with extra boiling water as needed.
• Once finished serving macaroni and cheese, grab the overhanging tinfoil, lift and dump any leftovers into an airtight container and into your fridge.
