- This is based off of a family of 4-5- so you will need to adjust it accordingly for a bigger or smaller family.
- All items are on sale or part of the lower Meijer price. If you don’t have the pantry items, then you will need to add those into your final price. (sale dates )

About 40 minutes before serving, turn the slow cooker to high and add in the elbow macaroni. Cover and check pasta every 5-10 minutes for doneness. While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, stirring to remove lumps and cook for 1 minute. Add in the beef stock and milk slowly, continually stirring. Once the mixture thickens slightly add the cheese a little bit at a time, stirring to prevent sticking. Once all of the cheese is melted, and the pasta is done, add the cheese to the slow cooker and stir well. Serve hot.

Pour ½ of the batter in the pan. Arrange the hot dogs horizontal to the small side of the pan so they are evenly spaced across the pan. Top with the remaining batter. Bake as directed according to the package. Top with the remaining cheese and allow to melt in the oven for 2 minutes. Serve by cutting so that each slice of cornbread has a full hot dog. Serve with condiments, as desired.
