Slow Cooker Mac & Cheese

Deliciously Creamy & Super Easy Too...

I've been searching for the perfect slow cooker mac & cheese recipe for a while now.  To me...for the crockpot that means:

1. Easy
2. Quick
3. Decently healthy

I don't always make it on the third one but I try.  And honestly my theory there is even when I use canned cream of "something" or a packet for seasoning...it still comes from home, it's a heck of a lot healthier than take out and it can always be modified later for completely "from scratch" ingredients".

This one works for #1 & #2 and depending on your personal opinion...partially #3.

Slow Cooker Mac & Cheese Step-by-Step

Skillet Boiling the Pasta...

I don't boil pasta like most people. I am not sure where I even saw this method.  I'm pretty sure it was someplace in a cooking video on YouTube but I've no idea which one.

It's very easy and a super time saver.

• Spray, oil or butter your skillet
• Add the pasta
• Cover with hot tap water 'til just covering the pasta
• Cover and cook on high for about 5 minutes

Your pasta doesn't need to be done or even al dente'...for using it in a slow cooker recipe it just needs to be a little soft.  Sorta at the really gross stage if you taste it 😉

There are no other tricks to this recipe.  This is a super simple, warm...creamy...gooey slow cooker mac & cheese.  You can add cooked meats and veggies too!  Then you've got an easy one-pot meal 🙂
