Crock Pot Mac N Cheese
- Ready In:
- 4hrs 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
5-6 quarts
- Serves:
- 6-8
ingredients
- 1 lb macaroni noodles
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
- 1 cup milk
- 4 cups cheddar cheese (seperated)
directions
- Cook macaroni noodles (or other favorite style) in boiling, salted water until barely aldente; do not overcook as you still have many hours of cooking time; Note: salting your pasta water is the only time you can actually season the pasta itself; it really does make a difference in flavor.
- Place 1/2 cup butter into bottom of crockpot.
- After draining the pasta well, toss it into crockpot and mix with the butter; the heat of the fresh pasta will melt the butter.
- In a seperate bowl, blend together the evaporated milk, cheddar soup, and cup of milk; blend into pasta.
- Toss in 3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, holding the last cup to side as topping ( I often mix cheddar and colby for a different flavor and sometimes parmesian if I have extra on hand).
- Cook in crockpot on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.
- Add last cup of cheese on top last 30 minutes or so to allow to melt.

Made for Spring PAC 2008. This was good and easy to make. My family is very picky when it comes to mac n cheese but we all enjoyed this. I followed the recipe as written other then I only used 1/4 cup of butter as I thought 1/2 cup seemed like a lot. I also added a good bit of pepper and some salt to the mixture.

I'm a working mom with 3 kids (4 if you count my husband). My children range from High School, Middle School, and barely starting Elementary School...so we have a diverse interest in food styles going on right now. I work mostly nights so I rely alot on meals that can be tossed together into a crock pot, reheated in oven, or thrown into a pan for my husband or teen-ager to handle. Crazy, hectic schedules make balanced meals difficult at times but we try our best!
