Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese

Marlene.'s Note:

This is a lighter version of macaroni and cheese with a creamy consistency. This could be made lower fat using light Velveeta. *Note* If you don't like it real thick, you can decrease the cooking time by an hour or so and it will be just as good, just not AS thick :)

I made this for our Christmas potluck at work. I cooked the macaroni and mixed it all up the night before, then put in the crockpot in the morning at work and just left on the warm setting since I have a "hot" crockpot. I thought the taste was okay, but it was very sticky and clumped together by serving time. I think it was just too warm for too long. I may try this again at home when I can follow the directions more precisely. Thanks!

I made this for my kids birthday party and it was a hit. I tripled the recipe and added dry mustard, and black pepper. Mine only took two hours to cook. This was so quick and easy I could see making this for a reunion.
