Mac and Cheese

I have to confess...Growing up in the midwest, I did not understand Mac and Cheese. We had it often growing up....my kids had the blue box variety at least once a week....But we did not understand the complexity and wonderfuldeliciousness that is mac and cheese until we moved to South Carolina. There it is on every buffet and can be found at the finest "Q" restaurants...of course you might have to risk offending the server if you ask if it is homemade. But it is an important question....

This recipe is printed in the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, Columbia, South Carolina.  submitted our dear friend Wilda Boyde who could cook! It was in the vegetable section. This is a crock pot version, but can just as easily be baked in the oven for an hour. Either way it is well worth the effort to gather the ingredients and risk the cholesterol! Enjoy!
