Crock Pot Mac & Cheese ~ Your Favorite Macaroni and Cheese Made in Your Slow Cooker! Easy, Creamy, Deliciousness!
MY
LATEST VIDEOSI have a confession to make. I’m a sucker for the blue box kind of mac and cheese. I’m not going to lie. It’s easy, it’s good and I go for it.
BUT I’ve been crazily pinning all kinds of Crock Pot Mac & Cheese recipes. The only problem is that I can only leave them in the crock pot for a few hours before the noodles turn to mush so obviously a weekday meal of this is out the book in my world.
When I knew I needed something to feed the hubs out at the house when he was working for lunch on Saturday I knew I had FINALLY come across the perfect time to try one of them.
Oh my goodness it was delicious. If you prefer a HIGH level of cheesiness to your noodles this recipe is calling out for you to MAKE IT. So go ahead and do it. You might never make another blue box again. I said MIGHT. I don’t know if I can go cold turkey. Maybe a ten step process is in order….

- 2 c. uncooked elbow macaroni
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 2 1/2 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 c. sour cream
- 1 10.75 oz can condensed cheddar cheese soup
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 c. milk
- 1/2 tsp dry mustard
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Spray Crock Pot with non-stick cooking spray.
- Boil the macaroni in water for six minutes, drain. You don't want to overcook this!
- Mix butter and cheese over medium high heat in a saucepan. Stir until it melts.
- In your Crock Pot combine the cheese mixture, sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper. Add drained macaroni. Give it a big old stir.
- Cook in Crock Pot for 2 - 2 1/2 hours on low, stirring occasionally. Just until it's hot. If you let it cook to long the noodles will turn to mush!

I made this a little while ago and I am very sad to say that 2 hours was definitely far too long in the crock pot, and 6 minutes may not have been long enough for boiling the macaroni. I was so excited that it didn’t call for cream or evaporated milk, so I could at least do some lactose-free substitutions (even with the cheddar cheese soup, it means a lower dose of lactaid will be needed to eat the mac and cheese). I could have stopped at an hour if the macaroni was cooked for longer. I’m hoping it will be better next time.
