So true.......besides isn't it the middle of the summer anyway???
A casserole of this type in an ordinary baking pan is going to stay
hot longer than the entire get together. Mac and cheese is going to
taste better after it rests...just like any meat roast.

I would like maximum top exposure for baking (crisping it up) rather
than nine inches on the top of a crock pot.
