BAKED LIL' SMOKIES N HOMEMADE MAC-N-CHEESE
This is a great kid-pleasing meal. You can make it ahead and refrigerate it until you are ready to pop it into the oven. I actually came up with this one day when I realized I had to make a pack of smokies or throw them out (But alas, no other ingredients on hand). So I just took my mom-taught homemade mac and cheese recipe and added smokies.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cook Macaroni noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse.
- Saute lil' smokies in pan until warm.
- Grate cheese while the above is cooking.
- Grease a baking dish (the deeper the dish the more layers you can make).
- Layers: Noodles (enough to just cover bottom of dish). Smokies (divide the by the # of layers to get them equally distributed). Cheese (cover noodles and smokies to your taste: Just make sure to reserve enough for the other layers).
- Butter (dot this on).
- Then begin over with the layers until all is used up (finishing with the butter).
- Finally pour the milk over top (Important: the milk is an estimate; I never measure, just pour until it feels right but this should be about right. Just adjust according to your taste on subsequent makings).
- Cover and bake 30 minutes.
- Remove cover and bake another 15-20 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a slow cooker liner. This will make cleanup a breeze. Just remove the liner from the slow cooker and discard it.
- Cook the pasta separately. This will prevent the pasta from becoming overcooked and mushy.
- Use a sharp cheddar cheese. This will give the mac and cheese a more浓郁的flavor.
- Add some spices to the mac and cheese. This will give it a more complex flavor. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Make sure the mac and cheese is cooked through before serving. The cheese should be melted and the pasta should be tender.
Conclusion:
Crockpot mac and cheese with lil smokies is a delicious and easy dish that is perfect for a party or potluck. It's also a great way to use up leftover macaroni and cheese. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying dish that everyone will love.
