🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while processed cheese is often less expensive.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil provides healthier fats while margarine is a budget-friendly alternative.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + cornstarch

Almond milk is lower in calories, and a cornstarch mixture can mimic creaminess.

elbow macaroni

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pasta

💰Cheaper: generic pasta

Whole wheat pasta adds fiber while generic options are often cheaper.

Brush or spray the inside of the crock pot with cooking spray or oil.

Crack the eggs directly into the crock pot and whisk them.

Add mustard and soy sauce to the eggs and mix well.

Pour in some milk and cheese, then whisk again.

Add the macaroni to the mixture.

Add the rest of the cheese and milk.

Put the lid on the crock pot and turn it on.

After a few hours, check the mac and cheese; it should be creamy.
