MACARONI AND CHEESE (pg 202)
8oz dry macaroni, cooked
2Tbsp oil
13oz can evaporated milk
1 1/2c milk
1tsp salt
about 1/2lb (8oz) shredded cheese; cheddar, American, Velveeta, or a combination
2 to 4 melted butter
2Tbsp onion, chopped fine
4 hot dogs, sliced (optional)

In slow cooker, toss macaroni in oil. Stir in remaining ingredients, except hot dogs (if using).
Cover. Cook on Low for 2 to 3 hours. If desired, add hot dogs, and cook for 1 hour longer.
*I used 4oz Velveeta and 4oz of a mix of cheddar and brick cheese. I cooked for 1 hour on low and 1 hour on high.

MARILYN'S CHILI CON QUESO (pg 13)
1Tbsp chopped green peppers
1Tbsp chopped celery (I used dried celery flakes)
1Tbsp chopped onions
2Tbsp diced tomatoes
2tsp chopped jalapeno pepper
1/2c water
3/4c heavy cream
8oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
2oz cheddar cheese, shredded

Place first 5 ingredients in slow cooker. Add water.
Cover. Cook on High for 1 hour, or until vegetables are tender.
Stir in heavy cream and cheeses.
Reduce heat to Low. Cook until cheese is melted. Serve immediately, or keep warm on Low for hours. Serve with tortilla chips.
I made this with a Little Dipper, cooking the vegetables for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, and then melting the cheese and cream together for 45 minutes.
