Easy crock pot Mac~n~Cheese. This creamy crockpot mac and cheese is delicious! Just throw the milk, cheese, and seasonings in the slow cooker for a meal everyone will love! In order to get that ultra creamy texture in a crock pot, you either have to use condensed cheese soup or Velveeta cheese, neither of which appealed to me.
Homemade macaroni and cheese is a process.
You need to make a cheese sauce while also cooking pasta in another pot.
I have tried macaroni and cheese recipes in the Crock-Pot slow cooker before, but they always require you to boil the pasta ahead.
You can have Easy crock pot Mac~n~Cheese using 8 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.
Ingredients of Easy crock pot Mac~n~Cheese
- It's 1 box of pasta uncooked. (I use shells, they grab that cheese!).
- It's 1/3 of stick of butter.
- Prepare 1 can of evaporated milk.
- You need 1/2 cup of water or milk. If I'm out of milk like today, water works just fine(: (I just fill the evaporated milk can half full).
- Prepare 1 can of diced tomatoes with juice. You can leave this out, but add about 1/2 cup more water or milk..
- Prepare 4 cup of of your fav grated cheese, yep 4! I used 2 cups cheddar blend, and 2 cups Velveeta shreds. I know..VELVEETA?!?! Sometimes that melty gooey cheese food weird stuff is ok..lol 1 block of cream cheese in place of 2 cups is heaven too..
- It's 1 of salt and pepper to your liking.
- It's 1 of paprika sprinkled over the top.
I feel like if you are going to do this step, it's just as easy to bake the mac and cheese…why involve the slow cooker? So, my idea was to develop a recipe that you could throw. Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese is ultra creamy, and SO easy! No boiling pasta, no velveeta, and no condensed soups needed.
