Crock pot mac and cheese is tender, cheesy, incredibly creamy and so delicious! It’s great for a hands-off side dish the whole family will love.
Keeping this quick today so I can finish up work and head to the airport. ✈️
Some of my girl friends and I are getting together for a Mardi Gras weekend. 🎉 However, we’re doing it in Alabama, where one of us lives and where they apparently also have parades, floats, balls, the whole shebang.
I cannot wait! So let’s get moving on to the food.
Apparently, it is my mission in life to make sure you can whip up some macaroni and cheese in every single possible way.
I’ve recently shared my easy stovetop mac and cheese, our classic baked mac and cheese with a crusty top and for when you’re in a real pinch, microwave mac and cheese.
Today it’s crock pot mac and cheese, because the more ways to make it, the better!
(And coming soon is an Instant Pot version. I’m seriously dedicated to covering all the bases.)
What I love about this slow cooker version is how incredibly creamy it is.
The pasta is tender and flavorful from cooking in all the creamy liquids, the liquid gets perfectly absorbed so the texture is great, the cream cheese and whole milk add a ton of richness and the cheddar cheese melts right in.
Every bite is so soft and cheesy and utterly delicious. ❤️
Plus, it takes just a few minutes to prep and then you can walk away and get on with your evening.
(Or stay in the kitchen sipping some wine and pretending like you are slaving away on dinner. I won’t tell!)
When it’s ready though, everyone will come running to the table, ready to gobble this up and go back for seconds.
It’s that good!…
