I ignored all the recipes that used soup. Even if you're starting with dry noodles, like for a lasagna recipe, it's only a couple hours - not eight - before those things are cooked through. I tossed out most of the recipes.There's no reason to want to cook noodles for 8 hours, unless the whole point is to put the ingredients into the crock pot before you go to work. I've never considered the crock pot for making mac and cheese, but there were plenty or recipes online, so I figured it would be simple enough. So when my husband came home and said that someone at work had asked him if I had a good recipe for macaroni and cheese that could be made in a crock pot, I decided that I could certainly find or modify an existing recipe. YUM.Įditor's Note: The introduction to this recipe was edited on 2 August, 2021.I love a challenge. Mac & Cheese your thing?😍 > Mac & Cheese Waffles, Mac & Cheese Toastie or maybe an EXTRA CHEESY Three Cheese Mac & Cheese. In air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days and in the freezer for up to 6 months. Sprinkle it over the mac and you'll have crunch in every bite. Spread it on a baking tray and bake in a 160✬ (140✬ fan) oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Go ahead and combine some bread crumbs with minced garlic, grated parm and chopped parsley. In your slow cooker, you'll want to go with HIGH as opposed to LOW heat. Think: mozzarella, fontina, and Monterey Jack. Totally! You just want to choose one (or three) with good melting properties. Double cream has wayyy more calories and fat and would take the decadence of macaroni and cheese to a whole new (and unnecessary) level. If you only use milk, the sauce would be kinda watery and soup-like. There's already a decent amount of milk in here anyways. Meaning it's pretty perfect for mac and cheese. You really only need to stir it once before serving.Ībout 60% of its water has been removed so it's much more concentrated, making it creamy AF. The evaporated milk, whole milk, and cheeses slowly melt together into perfectly creamy sauce. Pasta, if cooked too long, tends to get gummy if sits in a slow cooker for too long. You just need to start checking after 2 hours, every 20 minutes or so.
Answer to your inevitable doubts and questions are below. And in the end you have just ONE DISH to clean. Everything-including the pasta!-cooks in a slow cooker. The amount of dishes is insane.Įnter: Slow Cooker Mac & Cheese. And you'll almost definitely feel the need to make a buttery topping and bake it (even though it was already perfectly cheesy and saucy already).
You need to make a cheese sauce while also cooking pasta in another pot. Homemade macaroni and cheese is a process.
