Use a 4-quart slow cooker for best results. But the bagged stuff sometimes has an anti-caking agent which will keep it from melting as nicely as when you use block cheese.ĭon't shoot the messenger I'm only trying to help!! :-) * I am usually a bagged shredded cheese girl, but for this recipe I recommend shredding your own. I tell you this so you can *learn from my mistake!* :-)ġ/2 pound uncooked macaroni or hearty pasta (I used a gluten free pasta)Ĥ cups shredded cheese (I used all cheddar * ) Our pasta was perfectly cooked and al dente after about 90 minutes on high, but I left it on and accidentally fell asleep on the couch when I should have been folding laundry.Īn hour later, the pasta was still amazingly delicious, but it got mushy. There is a lot of liquid and the noodles cook VERY quickly. I wouldn't recommend putting this in the crockpot unsupervised. I waited too long to make it-this is a superb recipe. Ninety-seven days ago, when I made the crockpot ziti, my buddy Alison wrote in the comments her recipe for macaroni and cheese. This is the best macaroni and cheese, ever. We now make this macaroni & cheese recipe in the slow cooker on a fairly regular basis and love it.Originally posted during my Year of Slow Cooking.] But if you need to make a bigger batch this recipe doubles easily and because the pasta noodles are cooked on the stove-top you do not really need to adjust the cooking time and your elbow macaroni won’t get mushy. This recipe makes about 4 servings which I think is perfect if I am making it just for the kids or I am going to serve it as a side dish to go along with a main entree and vegetables. And I have to say…this recipe, the kids absolutely adore! Cooked on the stove top, baked in the oven and now this yummy version made in the slow cooker. We have tried several homemade macaroni & cheese recipes over the years. But in my humble opinion homemade is always better than anything you are going to find in a pouch of powder. While in a pinch, a box of store bought mac and cheese will do. I don’t know a kid who doesn’t like macaroni and cheese and MY kids are no exception to that rule.
