Slow Cooker Macaroni Cheese - Healthier for Kids!

 Lately my kids announced they love macaroni cheese!  I will say you can make this as healthy as you like, it all depends on what you know about your kids and their food boundaries. For instance you could use wholemeal pasta, I used low-fat grated cheese, and you could leave the butter out if you like. My kids like broccoli so I could add a bit of that, but not all kids like 'green bits' - one thing I can assure you of is this recipe works and is a great starting point for you to add your own twist to sneak in your veggies!

INGREDIENTS
200g elbow pasta
2 cups vegetable stock
1 cup milk
1/3 cup flour
3/4 carrot, grated
1/8 of a cauliflower, roughly chopped
200g low-fat grated cheese
20g butter
salt

METHOD
- Grate carrot, chop cauliflower
- Place with all dry ingredients in slow cooker, combine with a spoon or your hands
- Add stock, milk and butter
- Place slow cooker on high, stir after 45min, then cook another 45min (1.5 hours total)
Done!
