PAULA DEEN CROCK POT MACARONI AND CHEESE
I saw Paula Deen make this recipe on her Food Network program. I was looking for a really creamy macaroni and cheese recipe, and this is it! I changed it a bit by omitting the eggs (the original recipe calls for three) and boiling the macaroni for six minutes instead of seven, so it doesn't get mushy while cooking in the Crockpot. I also shortened the cooking time from three to two and a half hours. Perfection!

Steps:
- Boil the macaroni in water for six minutes. Drain.
- In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts.
- In slow cooker, combine cheese mixture and add the eggs (I omitted the eggs), sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper. Add the drained macaroni and stir again.
- Cook on low for 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
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.).

CREAMY CROCK POT MACARONI AND CHEESE
An easy, creamy mac and cheese recipe for the crock pot. No need to precook the noodles. Edited to add: I make this at least once a month without any burning or sticky mess. I know all Crock pots are different, because I have one that is "hotter" than the other. Perhaps a "hotter" crock pot is not suitable for this recipe.

CROCK POT MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:
- 1. Spray a 3½ quart crock pot with non-stick cooking spray.
- 2. Cook macaroni according to package and drain well.
- 3. Reserve 1 cup of the shredded cheese.
- 4. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
- 5. Pour into the prepared crock pot.
- 6. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top.
- 7. Cook on low for 5 - 6 hours or until firm and golden around the edges.
- 8. DO NOT uncover or stir until done!
- 9. NOTE: A double recipe will make enough for a 6-quart crock pot.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Freshly grated cheese, quality pasta, and flavorful milk will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Cook it just until it's al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will become mushy in the crock pot.
- Use a good quality crock pot: A slow cooker with a tight-fitting lid will help to prevent the macaroni and cheese from drying out.
- Don't overcrowd the crock pot: Make sure there is enough room for the macaroni and cheese to cook evenly.
- Stir the macaroni and cheese occasionally: This will help to prevent the pasta from sticking together and ensure that the cheese is evenly distributed.
- Add toppings before serving: This is a great way to add extra flavor and texture to the dish. Some popular toppings include shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, and green onions.
Conclusion:
Crock pot macaroni 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 little bit of time, you can have a creamy, cheesy pasta dish that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give crock pot macaroni and cheese a try.
