This recipe was filed under "must-try way to make food I love." I finally tried it and OH MY it was yummy and oh so easy.
First, I put 2 cups of dry rotini in the rice cooker with 2 cups of chicken broth.
While it cooked, I shredded 2 cups of cheese, a mix of cheddar and monterey jack. Food processors make life better.
The macaroni is done when there is no more liquid in the rice cooker. Mine just popped up from "Cook" to "Keep Warm."
At that point, I added some milk and the frozen peas and put the top back on to melt the peas.
The last step was to mix in the cheese. The heat and steam of the "keep warm" function melted it perfectly!
I have a homemade mac'n cheese that I haven't posted yet - I love your curlie noodles, a great dish for all ages!
ReplyDeleteLately I've been putting peas into lots of dishes, but never thought about putting it into Mac'n'Cheese.....brilliant idea. I need to try it next time.
