Paula Deen\u2019s Crockpot Mac and Cheese is not only simple to prepare but also irresistibly cheesy and scrumptious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

INGREDIENTS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 ounces block cream cheese<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2\u00bd cups of whole milk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 ounces evaporated milk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

INSTRUCTIONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add all of the ingredients into your crockpot. Set on low and cook for up to 2\u00bd  hours or until it looks like mac \u2018n\u2019 cheese. Stit after two hours to check that the recipe is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sauce may be thick and cheesy so you might want to add in some more cooked macaroni and milk to even it out. Then put the setting on \u201cKeep Warm\u201d until ready to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTES<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use cooked noodles, just decrease the cooking time to 1\u00bd  \u2013 2 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you desire more flavor in your mac n cheese, you can add some mustard and garlic to this recipe and adjust to your taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-shredded cheese does not work well in this recipe. It contains an anti-caking agent that can make this recipe gritty. Better to get whole cheese and shred it yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slow cookers can vary from one another, While some may cook slow, others may be faster. SO you may have to adjust the time for your slow cooker and set it to warm if your mac n cheese gets done earlier than expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
