Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

350g macaroni pasta
600ml whole milk
50g butter , cubed

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses: Try mixing different types of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan, to create a rich and flavorful mac and cheese.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy food, add some cayenne pepper, chili powder, or diced jalapeños to the mac and cheese. You can also add some hot sauce to taste.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked noodles will become mushy and ruin the texture of the mac and cheese.
  • Make it creamy: Use milk, cream, or evaporated milk to make the mac and cheese creamy and smooth. You can also add some butter or cream cheese for extra richness.
  • Add some extra flavor: Try adding some cooked bacon, sausage, or vegetables to the mac and cheese for extra flavor and texture. You can also add some herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

Conclusion:

Spicy slow-cooker mac and cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck. With its creamy texture, spicy flavor, and cheesy goodness, this mac and cheese is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
