Actually, this morning I put macaroni and cheese in the smaller crockpot and a meatloaf in the larger one. Ended up with 8 servings of mac & cheese for the 2 of us (I froze the 3 extra meals in a baggie) and 8 servings of meatloaf. I don't like taking the time to stir macaroni when I can cook it all at once in the crockpot - same with spaghetti, I always cook several pounds (on the stove) at once and freeze. Makes those cold winter days coming up easier to plan meals.
