MY VERY BEST CROCK POT MACARONI AND CHEESE
This is one of the things I make which has been the most requested. My mother always used to and will again nearly beg for me to make this and bring it over especially if she is baking a ham. Nobody has ever complained and this is one of my high comfort foods. I will eat even bad macaroni and cheese! At school everyone threw theirs away while I was gobbling it down! Ah, no.....I wasn't one of the most popular kids in school! The onion in this must be grated as it almost melts in. This is most definitely NOT a slimmer's dish but yummy when you need it! It also is not based upon a white sauce and does not have a smooth sauce but is just good. Most of the time nobody knows it is the onion making the difference and always ask why it is better than their own.

Steps:
- Cook the macaroni firm; very al dente and pour into crock pot.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir well.
- Cover and cook on high 4 hours stirring every 2 hours. I usually find that 4 hours is enough time but like to leave it a bit longer as I love the baked cheese around the edges.
- Salt to taste as the cheese contains salt. I use the higher amount of onion though if you are leery, use the 1/4 cup. Actually I usually just grate 1/2 an onion.
- I have corrected an error in this recipe. I had said 4-6 hours cooking time and I have no clue why! LOL. I have always always only ever cooked this 4 hours!

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.

EASY CROCK POT MACARONI AND CHEESE
From Company's Coming Slow Cooker Recipes. I love to make this when my kids have skating lessons. I can throw it into the crockpot after school and when lessons are over, dinner is waiting. If you are lucky enough to have two crock pots, you can have a glazed ham going in the other one and your dinner is ready to go!

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese will give you the best flavor, but you can also use a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Don't overcook the macaroni. Cook it according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it, or it will become mushy.
- Make sure the cheese sauce is thick enough. If the cheese sauce is too thin, it will not coat the macaroni well. You can thicken the sauce by adding a little flour or cornstarch.
- Add some extras. You can add some cooked bacon, diced ham, or vegetables to the macaroni and cheese to make it even more delicious.
- Serve it hot. Macaroni and cheese is best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
This crock pot macaroni and cheese recipe is a delicious and easy way to feed a crowd. It is perfect for potlucks, parties, or a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have a delicious and cheesy macaroni and cheese that everyone will love.
