0:00
(laughing) (clapping)
0:02
- Hey, y'all come on in the kitchen with us
0:04
cause we're gonna have a good time today.
0:07
I'm gonna be sharing with y'all
0:09
such an easy, (clears throat)
0:12
Excuse me, such an easy macaroni and cheese.
0:14
Because we are gonna cook it in our crack-pot.
0:18
But before we start cooking
0:20
I wanna to talk about Michael a little bit.
0:23
You know, Michael tried for eight years in a row
0:28
in Key West to become a Papa.
0:33
And the Papa Hemingway society.
0:36
- [Michael] Look-alike. - Yeah.
0:40
And it became a look-alike contest.
0:43
Well, Michael was just real proud of that.
0:46
So when he finally won in 18,
0:49
in 2018, he became a judge.
0:52
And, so today, this morning
0:57
he came in from work and he said.
0:59
You know my buddy's here.
1:03
And guess what his name is?
1:06
It's David Hemingway.
1:07
So David and Michael y'all get up
1:11
and let everybody see you.
1:14
So she's the Mama to his Papa.
1:18
So y'all- - Come over here David.
1:19
- [Paula] Yeah, come over here David.
1:20
- You go too Susan. - [Susan] No, I'm good.
1:23
- [Susan] This is a Papa thing.
1:26
- And of course when your husband wins,
1:32
Well I've been a Mama for a long time.
1:34
- So has Susan. (laughing)
1:38
- So I was just tickled when Mike told me
1:41
that they were gonna ride out to the house,
1:43
they, Michael met him down at the Lady and Sons
1:48
a little earlier today.
1:50
And told 'em to come on, Paula is home,
1:52
she's filming. (laughing)
1:54
- So, we're getting ready for
1:56
the mid-year reunion, right?
1:59
- Tomorrow. - Yeah, tomorrow.
2:01
That's why y'all are down here because you're
2:03
on the way to- - Fun and Dinner.
2:07
And Michael you're leaving when?
2:09
- Tomorrow. - Tomorrow.
2:11
And I'm, I'm working Friday night.
2:13
Don't be blowing in my hair Michael.
2:17
I'm judging something here in Savannah
2:20
Friday night, but Eddie's going get
2:22
up Saturday morning early and bring me to-
2:26
- Or Friday night, if you can?
2:27
- No, I don't get through till like 10.
2:29
- Doesn't matter. (laughing)
2:31
You can sleep on the way.
2:33
- Okay, bye y'all. (laughing)
2:35
Bye Papas. (laughing)
2:40
Good luck with 'em Susan.
2:42
All right, so I'm gonna share with y'all
2:47
It's just, really a dumping stirring cook
2:50
for three hours on low.
2:52
So let's see, I'm gonna start
2:54
with four tablespoons of butter
2:57
and I'm gonna throw in two and a half cups
3:00
of grated cheddar cheese. (bowl clinking)
3:06
And I'm going stir that together.
3:08
It'll take it a while to, to melt
3:12
because I hadn't had the crack-pot on very long.
3:15
So we've got our eggs, we've got our sour cream.
3:22
And I'm gonna go ahead and add
3:23
a half a cup of sour cream.
3:27
And you know, for this, for this,
3:33
I don't recommend light.
3:34
I mean, my goodness we're talking about a pasta.
3:38
So why we wanna eat macaroni
3:42
and put in light cream cheese?
3:44
I don't, I don't get that.
3:46
So, and it, to me it just makes a difference.
3:49
So I go the real deal on that.
3:52
And now I'm adding one can of cream
3:56
of cheddar cheese soup. (laughing)
4:03
We get a lot of, lot of stuff
4:05
about using soups, canned soups.
4:08
Down here in the South
4:10
but sometimes that's, that's all it's gonna do.
4:14
- [Susan] It's what's in my pantry.
4:15
- It's what's in. (laughing)
4:18
Yes they're, they're great for casseroles
4:20
and things like that.
4:23
Okay, so it's starting to melt a little bit
4:28
And now I'm gonna add one cup of milk.
4:33
And I'm using whole milk. (glass clinking)
4:38
I have found that when Michelle comes over
4:42
with our grandchildren.
4:44
She always would ask me, do you have whole milk?
4:47
I want my children, you know
4:50
drinking whole milk because
4:52
it's got everything in it
4:56
that they need rather than some kind of diet.
4:59
All right, so I'm adding
5:00
a half a teaspoon of salt,
5:02
a half a teaspoon of dried mustard
5:05
a half a teaspoon of black pepper.
5:13
Now you would not want this super hot.
5:16
Because your eggs would scramble.
5:19
They would become scrambled on you.
5:20
So this is working out great.
5:26
We're not gonna have scrambled eggs.
5:30
And then what do we start with?
5:33
Two cups of macaroni?
5:34
Teresa? - [Teresa] Two cups dried.
5:37
- Yes, which will yield you four cups cooked.
5:41
Okay this is looking good.
5:43
It's almost ready to,
5:46
we're gonna have to move this.
5:48
This is not gonna work, sitting on my stove.
5:51
I don't know why they put such short cords
5:59
- [Teresa] We'll move it. - Yeah, okay.
6:03
We got it all stirred together.
6:06
Perfect and you're not gonna believe
6:11
It's one of those no fails.
6:13
And you said it was Casey that makes it a lot.
6:16
- [Susan] Yeah, I thought- - I thought it was you-
6:18
- [Susan] I got friends that make it.
6:18
No I make your baked one.
6:21
- Yeah. - [Eddie] Yeah,
6:22
the Thanksgiving. - [Susan] Yeah.
6:24
- [Eddie] At the office, she would Make it.
6:26
- Yeah, that's right.
6:27
So we gonna cover this, move it out of our way.
6:33
And we're gonna be ready in three hours
6:37
Okay, our crack-pot macaroni and cheese is ready.
6:42
And the recipe says to cook for three hours
6:45
but this was ready in two hours.
6:48
So, I think a lot of it depends
6:50
on the size of your crack-pot.
6:52
This is a real big one,
6:53
which makes it have a thinner layer.
6:58
So at the very end, I just came in
7:03
and sprinkled a little more cheese on top.
7:16
That's beautiful macaroni and cheese.
7:25
So you can just take this out and take to your.
7:30
Take to your covered dish supper
7:33
and folks will love it.
7:34
They'll be asking you for the recipe.
7:38
So, try not to burn your mouth Paula.
7:54
I think your children will especially love this.
7:58
You know at our restaurants,
8:00
we do a real Southern macaroni and cheese
8:05
And it's baked and it becomes
8:07
almost like a custard.
8:09
And this, this is just macaroni and cheese.
8:19
So enjoy y'all, loving best dishes.
