I had my doubts about the macaroni cooking in the crockpot rather than doing it separately - but it did, and perfectly. However, there really needed to be more sauce, I thought. Mine cooked far faster than the four hours (more like 2 1/2) and it was extremely dry. I did add more milk to it to try to make it a little creamier, but that made it just as dry and ruined the texture to gritty. I think it I try this again (there are other mac n cheese recipes I want to try first) I will try doubling the amount of milk from the beginning and see if that helps.
