- 2 tablespoons kosher salt , divided
- cooking spray
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1 can evaporated milk , 12 ounce
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 0.5 cups butter
- 3 ounces cream cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons pepper
- 16 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat; add macaroni and 4 1/2 teaspoons salt. Cook pasta until just barely tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Add pasta to the slow cooker and stir in milk, evaporated milk, butter, cream cheese and pepper. Whisk together egg and egg yolk in a small bowl until well combined; stir into pasta mixture. Set aside 3/4 cup shredded cheese. Stir remaining cheese into pasta mixture, cover, and cook on Low until bubbly and lightly browned around the edges, about 1 1/2 hours.

Barbadian Plain Cake
This Barbadian plain cake is a simple pound cake that's good with a cup of tea. My grandmother, Gladys Payne Gittens, came here from Barbados in about 1906. She read this recipe to me over the phone when I was in law school in 1978. Thanks to my friend Elayne, the Soulful Yenta, to whom I gave a copy, I was able to find this on Mother's Day.
Sausage Green Bean Potato Casserole
This sausage green bean potato casserole is a great dish for a chilly weekend, when you want to warm up the kitchen and enjoy a comforting casserole. I used a chicken-apple sausage, but any flavor sausage will work. There might not be enough time for this on a weeknight, but you can also assemble this casserole the night before, and bake it the next.
