CROCK POT (SLOW COOKER) MACARONI AND CHEESE (OAMC)
Well, I modified Recipe #73916 enough that I figured I would post my version! And, as I can't make any small batches in the crock pot, this is OAMC. For a smaller crock pot, or for non-OAMC, this recipe can be cut in half. Enjoy! Note: Servings are main-dish dinner sized portions.

Steps:
- Whisk flour with 1 cup of milk until smooth.
- Mix everything in (very large) crock pot.
- Cook 3 to 4 hours on low, or until sauce comes together and pasta is tender. Stir every 30 to 60 minutes, if possible.
- Freeze leftovers in 2 serving portions.
- Reheat in microwave safe dish on defrost for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. At this time, the mac and cheese should be mostly defrosted. Defrost for another 10 minutes or so, stirring every 2.5 minutes or until hot. (I have found this is the best way to reheat frozen mac and cheese with no seperation of the sauce.).

Steps:
- Spray your crockpot with non-stick spray.
- Rinse your uncooked pasta in a strainer and drain out all the excess water.
- Add your uncooked pasta to your crockpot along with your milk, cheese, mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Stir everything well so all the ingredients mix together and make sure the macaroni is in the liquid as much as possible.
- Add your cubed butter.
- Cover your crock pot and turn on the low heat and cook for 1 hour. Remove the lid and stir all your ingredients before replacing the lid. Check the consistency because your dish may be done or require an additional 1-2 hours.
- Check your dish every half hour if it is not done and remember to stir when checking your dish.
- You will know your mac and cheese is done if the pasta is tender and the liquid is thick and creamy. Once you remove the lid, keep in mind the sauce will thicken even more as the mac and cheese sits.

CROCK POT MAC & CHEESE - OAMC
This is my kids favorite homemade version of mac and cheese. It does contain canned soup. If you're not a fan - don't try it! This freezes and reheats really well. I usually double this on a cooking day and it fills my 6 quart crock pot to the brim.

Steps:
- Cook macaroni noodles according to package directions. Drain. ( I usually slightly undercook them - until barely al dente).
- While noodles are cooking, combine soup, cheeses and milks in a crockpot. Stir to combine.
- Add cooked, drained noodles and stir well.
- Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.
- To Freeze:.
- Cool completely. Place in freezer bags in desired serving sizes. I usually do about 3 cups per bag. Enough for lunches, etc.
- Seal and freeze.
- To Serve:.
- Thaw in fridge. Reheat in microwave or place in baking dish that has been coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until hot.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your mac and cheese. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a classic flavor, or try a combination of cheeses for a more complex taste.
- Don't overcook the macaroni: The macaroni should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked macaroni will become mushy and ruin the texture of the dish.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the macaroni without being too runny. If the sauce is too thin, it will make the mac and cheese watery and bland.
- Add-ins: Feel free to add-in your favorite ingredients to the mac and cheese to customize it to your taste. Some popular add-ins include bacon, ham, broccoli, and tomatoes.
- Serve immediately: Mac and cheese is best served immediately after it is made. The longer it sits, the more the macaroni will absorb the sauce and become mushy.
Conclusion:
Crock-Pot mac and cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for busy weeknights or potlucks. With just a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker, you can have a creamy, cheesy mac and cheese that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy comfort food dish, give Crock-Pot mac and cheese a try!
