Slow Cooker Macaroni and Cheese

Slow Cooker Macaroni & Cheese

Calling all Macaroni and Cheese lovers! This is a slow cooker version that will make your life easy, in the kitchen department at least. 🙂 I love all kinds of macaroni and cheese in all types of ways, but I have been looking for a macaroni and cheese recipe that does not require precooking the macaroni and uses strictly real cheese. This recipe is it!


Slow Cooker Macaroni & Cheese

I experimented with several slow cooker macaroni and cheese recipes. Many required precooked macaroni. Okay fine, but I would rather find an option where I can get the slow cooker to do more of the work than me. I also wanted to use an entire 1 pound box of macaroni instead of trying to get the right amount when I ended up left with less than half of a box of unused macaroni. After some trial an error with the milk ratio and eliminating eggs for this one, this recipe is a success!

The macaroni cooks to percfection, and the CHEESE! The 5 and 1/2 cups of cheese will defintely make this a go to Slow Cooker Macaroni and Cheese!!!
