Slow Cooker Mac & Cheese


In the summer we tend to use our crock pot a lot. When it’s 100+ degrees here the last thing I want to do is heat up the kitchen. To get ready for the summer, we have been testing out a few new recipes. First up was this awesome macaroni and cheese.

Let me come clean with you….. I have made several recipes for mac & cheese in the crock pot. ALL OF THEM were complete disasters.  Dry & always overcooked. But this time I checked on it every 30 minutes or so just to make sure I didn’t screw it up, yet again.  This time was perfect!! Creamy, cheesy, and down right yummy comfort food.  It took about 2 1/2 hours and made the whole house smelled wonderful. 😉
