Friend brought this to a gathering I really enjoyed it and asked for the recipe. I made it today and liked it ever better.
Excellent

My mom made crockpot Mac and cheese at least once a month all year and 3-4 times during lent and it was wonderful. She used Colby cheese which is one of the cheeses I will use along with “Mod cheese” (an American cheese given out by the state of MN) like Velveeta but much better. I wonder if rinsing the noodles before adding to the crockpot would help with the noodle issue because rinsing noodles (or rice) removes the starch which in return would remove the paste left behind by the the starch surrounding the noodles.

In reply to Maureen Hutchinson. I did try this, and like another respondant said, it maybe wasn't as good as regular mac and cheese. Not sure why. (well actually i had no evaporated milk, so used more heavy cream and some milk, so maybe that changed it too much) But it really was super easy and if that's what you are looking for, this was quite tasty.

I did make this on Thanksgiving but it wasn’t as good as regular Mac N cheese that you either bake or make on stovetop. It was just ok and it was eaten but in the future I will not make it in the crockpot … everyone seems to be obsessed with making things in the crockpot but some things are better made in another fashion.

In reply to Kelsey. I’m sorry to hear that! Does your slow cooker normally cook quite hot?

This recipie was not good. It turned the pasta to paste. I followed the recipie and was exact on my times. The flavor was good, the pasta was not. This recipie is a no from me.

In reply to Louise Moore. Correct the pasta should be added dry. Enjoy!

This sounds very easy but, just to clarify, you do not cook the pasta before adding to the crockpot?

In reply to Jaclyn.

Thanks for this recipe. I am going to try it. Being in Canada, I had to look up what “American Cheese” is. I found out that it is called processed cheese slices here — unfortunately no Boar’s head avail.

I love to reheat mac and cheese by melting a little butter in a cast iron skillet and frying thick slices of the mac and cheese until they get a crunchy crust on each side. It’s the best. (But I think the person with the question was thinking about serving this for a family gathering meal, like Thanksgiving, so that would not have worked in this case and your answer was the right one for her)
