On a message board that I frequent someone asked for some rice cooker recipes. I had often wondered if I could cook other things in my little rice cooker, but never looked into it. So, today, I decided to do a search to see what I could find. This recipe was inspired by a Mac and Cheese recipe that I saw. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did!
