A few weeks ago, I tried this Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese recipe. This was an ideal meal for Mike and I because we love buffalo chicken and mac and cheese. I liked that it was a slow cooker recipe and parts could be made in advance and also it was only supposed to take about 2 hours to cook. I made the chicken the day ahead of time and was set to make the rest after a trip to get nails done and a quick swing by the mall. Everything ran smoothly on my trip out and I even got to stop for some unexpected, but much needed coffee with my friend, Linda. I got home and started on the recipe, which took longer than expected. I did change the recipe a little bit as I went. I omitted the vegetables (because I forgot to buy them). It took about 2.5 to 3 hours to cook in the the end. It was yummy, but I would probably make a few more changes. In the future, I would add the vegetables, double the pasta, and maybe precook the pasta so it didn't take as long to cook. Overall, this was a good meal and with a few modifications, it could be turned into a great meal.
