Crock Pot (Slow Cooker) Macaroni and Cheese (Oamc)

"Well, I modified Recipe #73916 enough that I figured I would post my version! And, as I can't make any small batches in the crock pot, this is OAMC. For a smaller crock pot, or for non-OAMC, this recipe can be cut in half. Enjoy! Note: Servings are main-dish dinner sized portions."

directions

  • Whisk flour with 1 cup of milk until smooth.
  • Mix everything in (very large) crock pot.
  • Cook 3 to 4 hours on low, or until sauce comes together and pasta is tender. Stir every 30 to 60 minutes, if possible.
  • Freeze leftovers in 2 serving portions.
  • Reheat in microwave safe dish on defrost for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. At this time, the mac and cheese should be mostly defrosted. Defrost for another 10 minutes or so, stirring every 2.5 minutes or until hot. (I have found this is the best way to reheat frozen mac and cheese with no seperation of the sauce.).

  1. My family really liked this! I made the recipe as written, except that I used 1/2 the amount of cornstarch instead of the flour. Cornstarch seems to dissolve better than flour to me. Thanks for a great, easy recipe!
     
  2. Wow! This was yum-yum! I needed a good crock-pot mac n cheese due to my oven being occupied and this one really delivered! I read all the recipes for crock-pot and mac and cheese and decided on this one. I liked the combination of cheeses and I thought the flour and milk would make a great thickening agent. I did cut the recipe in half and cooked my elbows for 5 minutes. I did not have velveeta but did have Hoops Cheddar and used that. I used a really good aged white cheddar and gruyere (what i had on hand) and despite my better judgement added all the liquid (1/2 recipe) that it called for. I did not spray my crock pot and cooked it on the med-high setting for about 2 1/2 hours. Cheesey and brown on the edges of the crock pot-just used a butter knife to scrape it off and mix it in. I did stir this often. It went great with should be illegal oven bbq ribs. Fantastic meal-served a ton-even though it was half recipe and we still had leftovers. I will never make mac n' cheese in the oven again. Thanks-great recipe!
     
  3. This consistensy was all wrong - WAY too thick and WAY to much sauce, also very strong flour taste. Since it was such a HUGE pot i tried to fix it for leftovers, the kids ended up dipping chips into it. A big waste of ingredients. Will definately find a different mac and cheese recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>My name is Karen and I live West of Chicago (on the edge of no where!) with my DH, our two German Shepherds, and our two daughters. I love to golf, garden (except for the weeding!), am addicted to romance novels (and good science fiction), and I love to bake--usually cakes from scratch when I have the time! Since getting married, I have been cooking a lot more and am having a lot of fun trying new recipes! And&nbsp;now that I have two little ones, the&nbsp;slow cooker is my friend!&nbsp; The girls take a lot of time, but they are worth it!<br /><br />The dogs are my babies too--though they are about as big as I am! &nbsp;It has been a bit of a challenge at times, as&nbsp;they both have severe hip dysplasia, but they are great dogs and I have learned so much about arthritis! I have also learned a lot about cancer, as our female was diagnosed with bone cancer.&nbsp; She is now on three, but doing great post-chemo.&nbsp; They are both&nbsp;great with the kids and love to ***** little hands and feet! and noses! and ears! and...! <br /><br />I participated in the 2006 Fall PAC--and what a great game/program/thing! So much fun! <br /><br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /> <br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></p>
